Origin of world religions: Dharmic religions

Prepare to dive deep into the ancient wisdom and teachings that underpin these three distinct Dharmic paths. We commence with Hinduism, tracing its beginnings in the sacred scriptures of the Vedas and Upanishads, and unveiling its diverse array of beliefs and practices that encompass the pursuit of dharma, karma, and moksha. Transitioning to Mahayana Buddhism, we explore the transformative journey of Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, as he sought to alleviate human suffering through enlightenment. Delve into the Mahayana tradition's emphasis on compassion, universal liberation, and the path of the Bodhisattva. Continuing our exploration, we venture into Theravada Buddhism, focusing on its pristine preservation of the Buddha's teachings. Discover the Theravada approach to achieving enlightenment through personal meditation, discipline, and the Four Noble Truths.
