Blog Entry: 1 Internet Research

The web site that I chose for my research is, http://www.thatreligiousstudieswebsite.com/. This is an independent website exploring on topics related to different religious believes, theology and ethics. And according to this site, their sole intention is to inform readers about various religious and ethical topics. I chose this site because i am doing a research on a religious topic, and this site has very good information on that topic. The articles are very clearly written and in a simple language. They have clearly stated where they obtained the information from, whether its from a book or an expert. They even provided external links if you want more information on that topics.

I am a Buddhist, but I know very little about this religion. One thing I know for sure that separates us from other religion is that we believe in rebirth and reincarnation. We believe that, every living organism once die, will be born again in a different form. They could be born on earth, heaven or hell depending upon their actions, when they were alive. For example, a person could be born again as a chicken or a dog or go to hell/heaven depending upon his/her actions. I find this idea of rebirth very interesting, so I did some research. I came across several web sites, but the one that I like most is the article on http://www.thatreligiousstudieswebsite.com/ with the Title “Life after death: An introduction to Buddhist beliefs” ( I have provided the link to the article below)

 This article provides detail information about why Buddhist believe in rebirth. According to this article, buddhist believes that people will be born again and again into this world in different forms, get old, suffer, and die until he/she removes all the desires which promotes selfish attitute, greed and hatred.
