well, I'm not going to write it for you, but why not look up information about the WAY people worshiped in each religion and compare and contrast that in one or two paragraphs, and then compare and contrast their origin stories, their messages, and their art in their own segments. and then Baum, you got a really nice, organized essay. just make sure to frame it with opening and closing statements.
i don't give people the answers, i try to help them figure it out themselves.
Go the second mile, adopt the attitude of: "I'm your friend, even if you're not mine."
Is it true to say, a person works best when they feel like they can't fail?
If so, one should go about with that feeling all the time.
"You can't fail," you feel and say to yourself.
You can't fail. Accent on the can't.
You can only succeed. Accent on the succeed.
"Oh sure," you say and feel to yourself, "there may be the appearance of failure,
the mere appearance of non-success in what I did, but,"
you say and feel within yourself, "I can't really fail."
Now you might recoil at the false aspects of the prospect.
Have no fear!
If you're trying to succeed at something good
then you'll want to tell yourself that failure is impossible
in the thing, thereby facilitating the accomplishment of the goal.
And so I pause and think about what it is I should direct my energy towards.
One answer appears: Helping others.
All teach karma and rebirth (though some Buddhists have a bug up there asses about that fact)
"As in this body, there are for the embodied, one childhood, youth, old age, even so there is the taking on of another body".-The Buddha
All teach that there is an existence outside of the normal mode of experience (Samara, the cecal of birth and death, although Nichiren Buddhism teaches that the cecal does not have to end to overcome the suffering of it), release from the cycle is called usually Nirvana by Buddhists, and Moksha by Hindus, I think Jains might call it Nirvana.
Hinduism is typically theistic, believing in one God in many forms, Buddhism says nothing about God, but the belief in a God is optional, Jainism is atheistic.
Hinduism has no founder, Buddhism was founded by the Buddha, Jainism by Mahavira.
Both Buddhism and Jainism are about 2500 years old, Hinduism can be traced to cave paintings dating 22,000 years ago (but your school may prefer the "Aryan invasion" theory).
Also try go ogle. Or Yahoo. Or Viki.
I don't claim to be an expert on them but I saw videos and read many info on those religions/philosophies.
I know Buddhism is fairly similar to Jainism.
They are bio centric rather anthropocentric.
Hinduism is one the most bio centric religion on Earth,
So the 3 are bio centric so it makes them fairly similar.
It respects all life.
They are good religions/philosophies because it respect all life.
Here is what bio centric means if you wonder.
Biocentrism states that nature does not exist simply to be used or consumed by humans, but that humans are simply one species amongst many, and that because we are part of an ecosystem, any actions which negatively affect the living systems of which we are a part, adversely affect us as well, whether or not we maintain a bio centric worldview. Biocentrists believe that all species have inherent value, and that humans are not "superior" in a moral or ethical sense.
Paul Taylor, one of the major early proponents of bio centrism, maintains that bio centrism is an "attitude of respect for nature", whereby one attempts to make an effort to live ones life in a way that respects the welfare and inherent worth of all living creatures. Taylor states that:
1. Humans are members of a community of life along with all other species, and on equal terms.
2. This community consists of a system of interdependence between all members, both physically, and in terms of relationships with other species
3. Every organism is a "teleological cent re of life", that is, each organism has a purpose and a reason for being, which is inherently "good" or "valuable"
4. Humans are not inherently superior to other species
Advocates of biocentrism are likely to promote preservation of biodiversity, animal rights, and environmental protection.
The term has been used by those advocating "left biocentrism", combining deep ecology with an "anti-industrial and anti-capitalist" position.
how can you compare Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism?
