Buddhism General The basic purpose of Buddhism is to purify your mind of the “three poisons” of greed, hatred, and ignorance. This is much easier said than done. The focus of Buddhism has always been on how to actually accomplish this in your daily life, rather than merely talking about it or getting caught up in the net of philosophical views. As it is said, “merely talking about food will not make one full.” As long as you are enveloped in ignorance, you thinking of your “self”, the “world”, or anything else is not true, not real. You are as if dreaming. However, once you successfully cultivate your mind so that you are free from the delusion of “I” and “mine”, and the “thirst” for the pleasures of the five senses, then you realize for yourself the true nature of reality.

Hinduism Hindu practices involve seeking awareness of God and blessings from Devas. To help think of divinity in the midst of everyday life, Hindus can engage in puja (worship) either at home or the temple. However, visiting a temple is not obligatory and many visit temples only during religious festivals. At home, Hindus often create a shrine with icons dedicated to their primary and subordinate deities. While engaging in puja, the penitent may chant mantras that help to focus the mind to express devotion. Devout Hindus perform daily devotions such as worshipping at dawn after bathing (usually at a family shrine and typically includes lighting a lamp and offering foodstuffs), reading from religious scriptures, singing devotional hymns, meditation and chanting mantras.

Shamanism Shamanism encompasses the belief that shamans are intermediaries or messengers between the human world and the spirit worlds. Shamans are said to treat ailments/illness by mending the soul. Alleviating traumas affecting the soul/spirit restores the physical body of the individual to balance and wholeness. The shaman also enters supernatural realms or dimensions to obtain solutions to problems afflicting the community. Shamans may visit other worlds/dimensions to bring guidance to misguided souls and to ameliorate illnesses of the human soul caused by foreign elements. The shaman operates primarily within the spiritual world, which in turn affects the human world. The restoration of balance results in the elimination of the ailment Moderator: AlilWitchy	0	0
