11/10 blog

In class today we started going over the major religions of the world. We went over five of them in class, and discussed facts about them. The first religion was Christianity, and we discussed the denotations of that and how it came to be. Then we had talked about Islamic, and then today mainly was Buddhism. Today we spent most of our time going over on how Buddhism came to be. It was invented by a prince who had been kept in from the world by his rich family. He wanted to explore, and set out from his rich kingdom to find balance. He was fasting and such to gain the key to life. While meditating under a tree, the idea finally came to him and thus came Buddhism as well. There are also denotations of Buddhism, being Zen Buddhism the one referred to in class.
