Buddha
Your exploration continues here. This section is on how Buddhism fits within the Order of the Dryghtyn.
Much like Christianity and Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism have many similarities. And those similarities can be found within Christianity, Judaism, and Muslim teaching. Buddhism believes in Four Nobel Truths, Nobel Eightfold Path, and a few more key concepts that mirror Hinduism.
The Four Noble Truths are rooted in dissatisfaction, suffering, and impermanence, the source of those conditions, being released from those conditions, and using the Noble Eightfold Path is the path to that release.
The Noble Eightfold Path is focused on Wisdom, Morality, and Mental Fortitude. Wisdom has two of the paths: right understanding and thought. Morality has three of the paths: right speech, action, and livelihood. And Mental Fortitude has three paths: right effort, mindfulness, and concentration.
Buddhists also believe in the cyclical nature of the life cycle from birth, life, death, and reincarnation. It also believes that to break from this cycle is achieving Nirvana which is accomplished through meditation. Further, they believe that what you put out in the world will come to back to you. Karma.
As discussed previously, there are many ways to see the Dryghtyn in the teachings and understandings of Buddhism. Their belief system, or religion, is one of the paths between reality and spirituality. While they share the cycle of life and Karma, they split in the belief of deities. Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, recognized human suffering and sought to find an end to it and thus Buddhism was created.
Buddhism is one of the religions that departs from the previous mentioned religions in that humanity is the gods who determine their own destiny. Enlightenment frees us from the cycle of life and death. However, when we look at the Dryghtyn, we see that birth and death are key concepts and that the paths between the two that link reality and spirituality are how humans take control of an endless cycle of suffering.
Although there is a lack of deities in the Buddhist belief system, there is a simple jump to the idea that birth and death are the major players in the cycle of life. And the Dryghtyn represents the governance of this cycle, whether it leads to reincarnation or Nirvana, the Dryghtyn is the power that moves between both realms and could be seen as the spirits or energy necessary to determine whether Buddhist goals and paths have been followed.
