@@ poohgirl - ever heard of Purgatory? Well, it's in the Bible. Bet they didn't teach you THAT one in Sunday School.\n\nBuddhist monks who have meditated many years will stay warm after death. Even their skin remains supple and rigor mortis will not set in. This has been witnessed and documented in non-Buddist hospitals in the west, even in the US. \n\nUnder Sources I have included a link to a very interesting interview that might interest you.

What a great question!!!!! Thanks for asking. This is really neat.\n\nI'm a practicing Hindu.\n\nMy second-favorite religion would probably be Jainism. It stresses Ahimsa..nonviolence...of which I am a big fan of this sacred principal (practiced in Hinduism and Buddhism, too, but not to the degree of Jainism). I find myself very fascinated with so many of the teachings of Jainism and many of the similar practices between Hinduism and Jainism, and yet their differences...especially theologically.\n\nNow, just in case you are one of those folks that considers Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism to all be part of the "Hindu" branch....then just in case, my answer would then be the religion of Baha'i (it's technically Abrahamic since it comes from Babism which comes from Islam which comes from Christianity which comes from Judaism...long strand there!). The Baha'i religion is very tolerant, very respectful of other religions (just as Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, and Taoism are). The Baha'is teachings are somewhat similar to Hinduism is some areas, but follow a more Abrahamic traditional approach. While their houses of worship are very different from Hindu worship and even Christianity's worship, it is still great. It is sort of like Unitarian-Universalism where there is a reading, some discussion, maybe some songs, etc. \n\nMy third would be Unitarian-Universalism....assuming you consider it a seperate religion....some consider it a denomination of Christianity. Mainly because of their tolerant views and their focus, not on a creed or religion, but on the inherent worth and dignity of every human being.

A bit long but I live in Buddhist terrority for 12 years... Below is a synopsis of what I wrote about Buddhism:''\n\nBuddhism\nBuddhism is the third of the great religions, which have contributed to the molding of Vietnamese culture and character over the centuries.  Buddha was a contemporary of Confucius, and the religion he founded entered Vietnam from both India (Buddha’s home), and China.  Today it is perhaps the most visible of the Vietnamese religious beliefs.\n\nBuddha’s teachings “Lead others, not by violence, but by righteousness and equity”\n\nThe major teachings of Buddha are found in the Benares Sermon of Buddha, which stressed the “Middle Way”.  That this “Middle Way” might be realized by humanity, is what Buddha proclaimed what are now known as the Four Noble Truths:\n\n•Existence (life) is a succession of suffering ---or, to exist is to suffer;\n•Suffering is caused and created by desires or cravings; the ignorance of true reality allows ambition, anger, illusion, to continue to cause an endless cycle of existence;\n•The extinguishing of suffering can be achieved only by the elimination of desire;\n• The elimination of desire or craving can be achieved only through the Noble Eightfold Path.\n\nThe Noble Eightfold Path by which the Buddhist must strive to perfect is as noted below.  These are:\nRight views\nRight aspirations\nRight speech\nRight behavior\nRight living\nRight effort\nRight thoughts\nRight concentration\n\nBuddha, in his teachings, did give five Commandments or Prohibitions, which were:\nDo not kill\nDo not steal\nDo not be unchaste\nDo not lie\nDo not drink alcohol\nNone of Buddha’s teachings is of greater significance than the doctrine of Karma.  The wheel, one of the earliest Buddhist symbols, stands for the unending cycle of existence through which life goes on by birth and rebirth.  According to this doctrine of Karma, the sum total of a person’s good or bad actions, comprising thoughts, words and deeds, determine his specific destiny in the next rebirth in this unending cycle of life.\n\nAs translated from the Gospel of Buddha by Paul Carus, Buddha taught that “All beings have Karma as their portion: they are heirs of their Karma; they are sprung (meaning their very origination) from their Karma; their Karma is their kinsman; their Karma is their refuge; Karma allots beings to meanness or to greatness”.\n\nWhile Hinduism holds a similar belief in reincarnation, the wheel of existence and Karma, Buddhism differs in that Buddha taught that there is no self, therefore, no actual transmigration of the soul or continuity of the individual.\n\nIn fact, Buddhists technically prefer the term “demise” to death as they assert there is no death as life is not confined to one’s body, but that the life force experiences a series of rebirths.  In popular Buddhism, the adherent tends to think of himself as a candidate for rebirth.\n\nMan determines his Karma by his actions that he has made himself.  This force, Karma, is held to be the motive power for the round of rebirths and deaths endured until one has freed himself from its effects and escapes from the Wheel of Existence.\nThe state to which the Buddhist aspires is Nirvana.  It is a state of being freed from the cycle of rebirth or the Wheel of Existence.  It is the final release from Karma and can be achieved only by long, laborious effort, self-denial, Godly deeds, thoughts, and purification through successive lives.\n\nAn exact definition of Nirvana seems unobtainable since Buddha refrained from describing this state.  He called it the summit of existence, the enlightenment of mind and heart, the city of peace, the lake of ambrosia and peace, perfect, eternal, and absolute.\n\nIt is the state in which Buddha’s followers believe him to be now as a result of the Enlightenment, which he achieved.\n\nIt was the lack of a clear definition of Nirvana that caused the Gre
