Hinduism

1.Hindus Believe in reincarnation of humans in another body after death. This cycle of life continues to occur and the person will move up in the caste system as long as his/her duties were performed correctly. Finally resulting in one day the person reincarnating as a god. This is staed in the law of Manu.

2.According to Hindu literature, the Upanishads , there is an assumption that only on realty exists that is Brahmin. All of life is an expression of Brahmin.

3.The nature of a person is defined by his/her karma. A good person is a reflection of good actions in the past and bad nature is a reflection of bad actions in the past.

Jainism

1.Jains also believe in reincarnation. In Jainism however karma of any sort binds the person to earth. According to Mahavira karma is built up due to any activity. So to stop the cycle of reincarnation the best way is to do as little as possible.

2. There is no Central God but a central leader named Nataputta Vardhammana is present. Jains tend to believe in the Dual nature of the world and life itself. The world is divided in to two: soul(jiva) and Matter (ajiva). Matter is useless , soul is eternal.In Jain teachings as long as the soul is bound to flesh it is stuck in an endless cycle of life. The ideal life which offsets incarnation is an ascetic life with consideration to non injury of animals.

3. The ideal nature of a Jain is in an ascetic life style free of all worldy materials and riches. In addition to this They cannot knowingly harm animals. This is seen in the way some monks sweep the area they tread to prevent harm to insects and strain water to prevent harm to animals in water, some monks are even known to care for rats. Other oaths Jains take to become a monk are to speak the truth ,and refrain from taking anything that is not given. So basically the inherit character of man is good.

Sikhism

1. Sikhs practice many characteristics of Hinduism including reincarnation and Karma.

2. There is only one true god , though hindus may see god in different ways and forms.The supreme creation of god are humans and as such they have free reign to do whatever they please including eating animals. One of the few Indian religions that legitimately allow eating meat.

3. The nature of person in the beginning of the formation of this religion was to be peaceful as nanak the founder was a pacifist. However in later years they became know to be fierce warriors mainly because they strove to protect their religion in country where Jains are a minority.

Buddhism

1.Practice the teachings of Buddha. Buddha did recognize hinduism but rejected many of its teachings such as the vedas , animal sacrifice, and also considered the gods human. He did believe in reincarnation and karma however like most indian religions.

2. No central god as said before Buddha believed all the gods were actually men and that they were also subject to karma and reincarnation.He also considered there to be no soul but rather 5 physical mental and physical aggregates which are bound to a cycle of life and death.

3. An eightfold path must be followed to break the bonds of life. All of the steps in the path are designed to make the person humble and overall is similar to jainism in its vows of simplicity and being honest.
