THE Baha'i Faith Buddhism

-

 

 

                         Baha'i Faith   

                                     Founder:

Mirza Husayn-ali established the Baha’i faith and was born in 1817 in Persia (present day Iran). Following on from the Bab and other religious tradition predictions, Baha’ullah prophesied that he is the promised one.

 

                                            Background:

In the middle of nineteenth century, Persia was undergoing immense societal as well as religious upheaval. There was a forerunner called the Bab, who had prophesied the birth of someone greater than him. The teaching of Baha’u’llah that there is one god, the unity of humankind, and religion should be united had to suffer persecution, prison, and exile.

 

                                                                Core Beliefs:

 Essentially, the Baha’is believe that every major religion was merely one stage of the evolutionary spiritual ladder for mankind’s development. Also, Baha’u’llah’s teachings call for an end to prejudices, equal male-female relations, harmonisation of science and religion and establishment of peace in the world.

 

                           Buddhism:    




                                                 Founder:

 According to buddhism, it derives from Siddhartha Gautana, who was nicknamed as the buddha. The life of Siddhartha began in Lumbini, in modern day Nepal, sometime in the 6th century BC. The year after having spent years seeking for spiritual illuminations, he was enlightened under the Bodhi tree and turned into Buddha.


 

                                            Background:

 Born as a prince however, Siddhartha left his privileged past life in order obtain an answer for man’s pain and sorrow. Through several decades of meditation and self-control, he found out about the Four Noble Truths and the Eight fold path, which constitute the central doctrine of Buddhism. After that, he devoted the remainder of his life to teaching and establishing the monks’ community.

 

                                    Core Beliefs:

The essence of Buddhism is based on The Four Noble Truths, which delve into the meaning of suffering and the way out. The Eightfold path leads those following it through moral and mental progress. A personal creator God is not believed by Buddhism. The concept of karma and self-responsibility form the basis of this religion.

 

Baha’i faith and Buddhism have affected spiritually and culturally on different regions and also followers worldwide. These differing doctrines are however built on these core messages of spreading peace, tolerance and welfare for humankind.
