    Introduction
    Introduction
    • Despite a lot of differences, people still
    manage to live their lives with one, although
    there are times when conflict arises.
    • According to Garth Brooks, “The greatest
    conflicts are not between two people but
    between one person and himself.”
    • Because of the presence of love, people
    become sensitive of others and as a result,
    are able to do the rights things.
    Introduction
    • The conflict among individuals, or rather among
    groups is the rationale behind the presence of
    so-called guidelines in how people should act
    and live their lives in a particular community or
    also known as religion.
    • Even though there are a lot of irreconcilable
    aspects between several religions, it cannot be
    refuted that all religions have the same aim - to
    unite all people from all walks of life into a path of
    sincere understanding, love and concern.
    The Eight Beatitudes
    • The original beatitudes is what was said by
    Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount, but
    there are also two other versions by Luke
    and Matthew, wherein both of them
    adhered to the original but with two
    different ones nonetheless.
    • According to CCC (Catechism for the
    Catholic Church), the beatitudes are the
    main new doctrine that Jesus introduced to
    the world.
    The Eightfold Path
    • Buddhism teaches its followers that when
    one does good things to other people,
    good things will happen to them, as well,
    and it goes the same way for bad things.
    • Buddhism gives its people a way to
    compensate for what they’ve done in the
    past and to get one step closer to reaching
    Nirvana and that is the Eightfold Path.

    “Blessed are you who persecute you and
    speak all kinds of evil against you for the
    sake of righteousness for yours is the
    Kingdom of God.”
    • Right Effort
    • Right Concentration
    Differences
    • The Eight Beatitudes are the teachings of
    Christ regarding the goal of human
    actions.
    • On the other hand, the Eightfold Path is
    taught by Siddharta Gautama to its
    followers in order for them to escape
    suffering.
    Conclusion
    • The Eight Beatitudes of Jesus and the
    Eightfold Path of Buddhism, both, provide
    human beings with a way of life that can
    help them attain salvation.
