TEST TOMORROW!

Today, we finished giving our student presentations. The group that did Buddhism, finish from where they started. We learned that Buddhism is a religion indigenous to the Indian subcontinent that encompasses a variety of traditions, beliefs, and practices largely based on teachings attributed to Buddha. 6% of the world's population is Buddhism which is about 200-600 million Buddhist. A lot of Asian countries are mostly Buddhist. Buddhism started in Japan. They try to follow the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha). This religion is more like practices then a bunch of strict beliefs. There are over a million Buddhist in the US. A Buddha is a person who is completely free from all faults and mental obstructions. The Buddha, which they learned from, was skin and bones because he would fast from weeks at a time. He is thought of as a fat, lazy and happy man but that wasn’t the case.  Then Judaism went. Jews practice their religion in a synagogue. There are about 13,580,000 in the world, and 81% live in Israel and the United States. Abraham was the first Jew, the founder if there was one and Moses was a prophet known for bringing down the 10 commandments. This is Abrahamic religion just like Christianity and Islamic. There are About 1 billion Hindus mostly found in Indian and Asian countries. It is one of the oldest religions. They worship in a home, temple, or at a shrine. Most households have a small shrine in their house. This religion was formed in 2000 B.C in India. Hinduism is a Polytheistic religion- have more than one god.
