Explore the intertwined histories and cultures of the major religions: Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam.

--

It's perfectly human to grapple with questions, like 'Where do we come from?' and 'How do I live a life of meaning?' These existential questions are central to the five major world religions -- and that's not all that connects these faiths. John Bellaimey explains the intertwined histories and cultures of Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam.

    Hinduism: We are one.
    Judaism: Even the most simple things can have a great impact on our lives.
    Christianity: We must all show love to one another, as God has shown love to all of us.
    Buddhism: We can find happiness if we don't let it come at the cost of others.
    Islam: Always strive to go the extra mile in being a better person.

    I'm guessing everyone who watched this video is open minded and mature? Thought it'd be a war zone down in this comment section.

    people wondering why the comments are peaceful -
    The viewers of ted-ed are intellectuals. Knowledge brings peace to people.

    I am a Buddhist, and I respect the beliefs of all my brothers and sisters of other paths. I am happy to count many friends in all the faiths mentioned in this video. Let’s work together for a peaceful world. 🙏🏻

    The best thing about living in places with more than one religion and tradition, is that there are more holidays. BAM LUNAR NEW YEAR! BAM BUDDHA’S BIRTHDAY! BAM CHRISTMAS! BAM EASTER!
