===This wiki is a Pathfinder to information on the foundations of 5 World Religions: Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Reliable resource sites for information about these religions are available below.===

Hinduism
Hinduism is not just a faith. It is the union of reason and intuition that can not be defined but is only to be experienced. Evil and error are not ultimate. There is no Hell, for that means there is a place where God is not, and there are sins which exceed his love.

Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan

Buddhism
==== Buddism follows the teachings of Siddattha Gotama called the Dhamma. Buddha was born a prince in a place called Lumbini, which is in the country that is now known as Nepal. Although Siddatta Gotama was born into magnificent wealth, he renounced his life of privledge and chose a path of a holy man. Later he would come to be known as Buddha .==== Source Wallace, H.
