by significant ethnic and cultural
diversity. This mainstream evolved both

enormous variety of religious traditions,
ranging from innumerable small,

Dharma) is a religion and philosophy
encompassing a variety of traditions, beliefs
and practices, largely based on teachings
attributed to Siddhartha Gautama, commonly
known as the Buddha (Pāli/Sanskrit "the
awakened one"). The Buddha lived and taught
in the northeastern Indian subcontinent some
time between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE.
He is recognized by Buddhists as an awakened
or enlightened teacher who shared his insights
to help sentient beings end suffering (or
dukkha), achieve nirvana, and escape what
is seen as a cycle of suffering and rebirth.
Judaism is the "religion, philosophy,
and way of life" of the Jewish
people. Originating in the Hebrew

covenantal relationship God
developed with the Children of I
Israel. According to traditional
