    COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF HINDUISM,

    THERAVADA BUDDHIDSM, AND


    MAHAYANA BUDDHISM

    *in Hinduism and Buddhism (Mahayana


    and Theravada), Dharma is an integral
    concept. In Hinduism Dharma refers to
    the religious and moral law governing a
    person’s conduct.
    ORIGIN
    Both Hinduism and Buddhism, two of the world’s great religions,
    trace their origin in India.

    MORALITY
    • Most Hindu adherents hold several key moral values such as
    Karma and Dharma. Buddhist moral thoughts and actions are
    principally guided by the “Four Noble od Truths” and the “ Eight
    Folds Paths”.
    PURPOSE
    • In Hinduism, there are four desirable goals of life (purushartha). All Hindus aim to
    achieve the four-fold purpose of life that includes DHARMA, ARTHA, KAMA, AND
    MOKSHA.
    • In Buddhism, the principal purpose of one’s life is to terminate all forms of
    suffering caused by attachment to impermanent entities.

    4 purpose of life(HINDUISM)
    • DHARMA- means to behave appropriately and act righteously.
    • ARTHA- pertains to the pursuit of legitimate worldly prosperity or material well-
    being.
    • KAMA- refers to the pursuit legitimate pleasure as one obtains enjoyment in life,
    such as those related to arts, music, and dance.
    • MOKSHA- is the final meaning of life that involves enlightenment, self-realization,
    or union with god.
    DESTINY
    • The destiny of all Hindus involves reincarnation until such time they gain
    ultimate enlightenment. Hinduism believes that within the human is an
    eternal soul (Atman) that is being reborn millions of times and in many forms
    subject to the moral law of Karma (Bowker, 1997). On the other hand,
    Buddhism holds that no soul is being reborn because there is no
    permanence in anything.

    VIEWS ON WOMEN
    • Honoring women in Hindu society as a fundamental teaching has been laid
    down in one of the supplementary arms of the Vedas, the Manusmriti or the
    “Laws of Manu”. Women have enjoyed considerable freedom in their
    religious life in Buddhism as compared to Hinduism.
