discuss 2 aspects of these religions that were new to you. What did you find interesting or likeable about Hinduism? How do you think your lives would be different if you were Buddhist? How would it change your everyday life? How would it change your schedule? Your goals? What you care about?
Things that were new to me while learning about the Hindu religion are: praying to 3 Gods and the concept of Dharma. I knew there were religions that worshiped multiple deities, but I had never actually learned about them or found out how the religion works. In world history we learned the basics about most religions, but I feel like my teachers did not go as deeply into them as we have in this class. I really liked learning about how they pray/worship and how their religion is different than the ones I am used to. Dharma is also a fairly new concept to me, again I had heard about it in history but, I had never really known what it meant. I like the idea of an individual holiness that is connected on a whole, I feel like that is really different from the religion I am used to (Catholicism) where the one God is much holier than everyone else and it's a refreshing concept (I hope I am getting the concept of Dharma right). I think that our lives would be very different if we were Buddhist. I know several people that are Buddhist, but I think they use the term very loosely. I think that the whole western world would we totally different because it is such a change from what we are used to here. Hinduism seemed like a very likable religion because it's based off the universe and worshiping multiple gods and nature.
