something on christianity, buddhism & hinduism

Something I discover in last Sun - this word in Chinese called ' qun ' - I wish I can write in Chinese here.
The Chinese characters with two parts --Left side is a 'jun' [gentleman - lefthand side] and Right side is a 'yang' [goat- righthand side] .

Its meaning is herd/ group.

Realised its meaning is also King ( as 'jun' in Chinese also means 'wang' ) -as in Jesus and 'yang' in the bible is referred to humans; us. We are meant to be together side by side with Jesus ! 'Qun' - also means we are meant to be in a community.
==========================================================

Also understood more abt buddhism and hinduism from a fren who attended classes. Briefly - in true buddhism and hinduism, there is no idols.

In buddhism, in the calling of spirits, there is a priest involved. In taoist, in connecting with the spirits, there is a medium involved.
Buddhism, there is buddha and he points the way, believes in enlightment. There is also a difference for the Tibetan buddhism, as there is a Dharma.

In Hinduism, there r three gods representing creator, destroyer and ...Just share a bit....as there are practices that r practiced by Indians which are religious, hindus know them as their way of life. Whereas for other Indians, that are just customs.

If one day you are curious to read abt the bible, can go to www.biblegateway.com

Especially with regards to my first part on ' qun ' Chinese character, can type in key words 'JOHN 10', i.e. book of John chapter 10. Talks about God and us, and somebody else who only steals, kills and destroys.
