When doing the Best Religion Ever project I was introduced to many amazing religions like Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism. Christianity believes in god and was founded over 2000 years ago. in the Islam religion, they also believe in one god, one spirit. although in Hinduism, there is no single founder of the religion and it was not found as a religion at first but as a culture. There are many important religions, but Buddhism is the best. While Christianity believes in God the Father, Jesus Christ as the Son of God and the Holy Spirit, Buddhism is the best because they believe in one god called buddha and in the buddha religion they believe in meditation is key to all well being.
Christianity is another interesting religion but still not the best. Christianity was founded almost 2000 years ago in the first century. The religion was originated in Jerusalem where Jesus was born. some important people in this religion are Adam and EvE, David, Mary, Paul and of course Jesus.

Buddhism was founded in the 6th century and it originates from northeastern India. Some of their more important people are Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso and Siddhartha Gautama who is the founder of the religion. In Buddhism, they believe that once you die you are reborn as a new human and I find that interesting because you get more than one life in a way. In addition to reincarnation, the fact that Buddhism was founded as a culture first is another example of why my religion is the greatest ever.
This religion is the best one because they believe in something called the four noble truths. the four noble truths are a part of the teachings of Buddhism they revolve around suffering which I find interesting. They say that there is a being and an end of suffering and that it's all leads to a path of the end of all

Born around 563 B.C.E., legend follows that Siddhartha was the son of a prince in a kingdom near the border of what is now India and Nepal. As such, he was sheltered from the world and lived a life of luxury and comfort.

    Buddhism is one of them, just like many other religions, they also believe in the importance of life, joy, and peace, and contribute to society. The only difference is that instead of seeing founder Buddha Shakyamuni as a god, they see him as a teacher. They don’t believe in the relationship of a follower and a god, but more of a relationship of a student and a teacher. This is particularly interesting and astonishing, since texts define religion as a form of worshipping a god/gods, and Buddhist beliefs are different from what religion is mainly depicted as. Learning more about Buddhism, expanded my knowledge of this particular religion, but it also changed the way of what is considered a religion. It made me further recognize that there does not have to be a god or supreme being in order be considered a religion, and that any type of faith, spiritual belief or system could be described as a

He taught that the way to eliminate suffering began with understanding the true nature of the world. In Buddhism, the purpose of life is to end suffering. The Buddha taught that humans suffer because we continually strive after things that do not give lasting happiness.
