The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel Comedy Drama Movie 5 Stars Worthy

Life and Death in Hinduism and Buddhist

Buddhism and Hinduism have very similar concepts of birth and death. They only differ on the nature of the soul and what happens at the moment of liberation. The thing that unites both conceptions is karma. Both religions seem to think that both good and bad action keeps one in the cycle of Samsara. In both, if one performs a good action it leads to a rebirth in a higher status. A bad action leads to a rebirth a lower form, such as a monkey or a bug. The method of escaping samsara is also different for both religions.
