How does the teaching of Buddha affects the followers of his Philosophy ? But first let me tell you who is Buddha and what is Buddhism. Buddha was who we called Sidharta Gautama or the enlighten one. While Buddhism is a religion that was originated in India by Buddha. And Buddhism includes the eight fold path and also the 4 noble truth.
Then , it affects very much , because the followers of this follow all the things in that. They believe that Sidharta Gautama is the enlighten one , and they also believe and follow the eight fold path and the four noble truth. And they follow and use this in their daily living. And the practices of that , the follower of this will follow and also do that. But some other terms , to follow this was good because people did good things , and they work on their own.

MY PERSPECTIVE OF THE 5 PILLARS OF ISLAM
MY PERSPECTIVE OF THE 5 PILLARS OF ISLAM .. Before anything else the 5 pillars of islam are
1. Shahada , which says that "There is no god but Allah , there is no prophet but Muhammad", or the testimony of the Islam faith.
2. Salat or prayer . They pray five times a day. These prayers are only performed after ritual bathing and take place before sunrise, at noon, in the mid-afternoon, immediately after sunset, and before midnight.
3. Zakat or charity this includes that they must give some of their income to the orphanage. And the obligation to give a percentage of one's income and of the value of some property.
4. Saum or fasting , they do this in the month-long celebration of Ramadan. The saum is a fast prescribed only for healthy adult Muslim during 30 days of Ramadan.
5. Hajj or pilgrimage. Once in a lifetime, every Muslim must make the journey to Mecca.
My perspective here , I am amazed that the Islam follower(muslim) was willing to give their income just to help the poor once , and they do and practices the FASTING , and they are so healthy because the toxins inside their body was cleanse. And they memorize what they say and what they pray. But that's the one thing , You can pray without memorizing but it was their culture to memorize prayers. And I also said to my mind , that it is cool to be a Islam follower , because you can do good things and it is in their culture but I am happy that I am a Christian because ONLY GOD CAN SAVES US , NOT IN OUR GOOD DEEDS ..

HINDUISM Vs. CHRISTIANITY
Hinduism vs. Christianity ??
Hinduism was the oldest religion in India. It has claimed 330 million gos. And Hinduism believes in many god and goddesses. They believed the gods Vishnu, Shiva or the goddess Shakti.And also Shiva(destroyer), Vishnu(sustainer), Brahman(creator),and Krishna(avatar of Vishnu). And they serves to the cults of Rama and Krishna. And they also believed in Samsara , or what we called the chain of repeated birth and death. And also the Karma , or in other term , the principle of action and consequences. And also Hinduism includes the Atman(soul) and Anatman(no soul). And Hinduism includes the caste system , and it has 4 classes , the Brahmins(priest), Kshatriyas(political leaders), Vaisyas(businesspeople) and the Sudras(slaves).
While Christianity , it is the relationship between God and you. And in Christianity they believed in ONE GOD , and they believed that JESUS CHRIST is the only way , the truth and the life. And only Jesus Christ is the only way for them to be saved. And with this , they don't serves with many cults. They only praise and worship God . And they don't memorize prayers , they can pray anytime they want. Because prayer is the way you talk to our God.
What's my point is .. In Christianity they believed in ONE God and they don't serves and praise many cults but in Hinduism they do .
