The world as we know it evolves every day; the people who inhabit it evolve, our languages ​​evolve, our religions evolve. The religions that began when humans became civilized are not the same as those practiced today. Everything as we know it changes shape to adapt to modern standards. One of those religions that have evolved since the beginning is Buddhism. The whole ideology of Buddhism attracts more people than some other religious groups. Why is this so? Is it because of the concepts it teaches or the fact that it doesn't focus on a "god" as much as Western religions do. Before we get into the concepts of Buddhism that were the most intriguing, I think the creation of it is worth noting. In the beginning the Buddha was not an extraordinary man. He was a privileged boy who had to become a warrior. He ran away and starved under a tree to find a solution on how to end the suffering. The Buddha willingly starved himself to near death until he was able to reach that point in his life of enlightenment. The Buddha did not go around curing people of their illnesses and performing miracles by transforming one element into another. He led a simple life traveling around while also teaching others how to achieve enlightenment. The Dharma was not a book about his life but simply his teachings. This is very different from the idea of ​​Jesus within the Christian religion. My point of view comes from a very biased position which I have to admit because I don't support the Christian religion that much. The Holy Bible differs first and foremost from the Dharma because it is a book of stories and also of teachings of Jesus. Jesus is a man held in high regard because he knew how to cure the sick of their ailments and turn water into wine. He died… halfway down the paper… it just emphasizes that we are achieving self-liberation. There is no time to waste on others who need help getting to that point. There is one aspect I don't particularly agree with. As stated earlier at the beginning of this essay, I have pondered the idea that Buddha is simply a man. There was nothing that represented him as a god. In Mahayana practice they see him not as a man but as a god. Buddhism is rapidly growing in popularity in the Western world, particularly among younger generations. This is because it is the only religion that can be practiced non-religious. Buddhism can be embraced as a spiritual adventure where the person focuses primarily on nature. Buddhism is full of interesting concepts and has the easiest religious text to read. Of all the religions I have learned throughout my life. Buddhism is the best so far.
