What is ahimsa and how does it affect the lives of Buddhists?

Ahimsa is really a concept of Yoga in Hinduism. Yoga, in its most true form, is a form of Hindu spiritual practice. Ahimsa is the practice of non-harming. it is one of the 5 Yamas (restraints or limbs) of Yoga.

What are Bhakti yoga and karma yoga?

These are the two different type of yoga, but cannot be separated as they are the two rails of a single track to reach the intended spiritual goal.BHAKTI YOGA: Bhakti Yoga is the approach of pure intense love, devotion to God, and attachment to Him alone. The devotee has God as the center of his existence. He perceives everything as God and God in everything. It is a path of complete surrender. He hands over the reins of his life to God and never questions the ride.KARMA YOGA: This yoga is the key for making the worldly path a divine path. It is the path of selfless service. Selfless service is at the core of our Higher Self and is the source of true peace and happiness. The most important point in this kind of yoga is to have a pure motive. He is always aware of himself being only a channel through whom God is doing his work and, in return, blessing and purifying him.

The word yoga means Yuj. Yuj means union. Therefore the aim of yoga is for us to be in union with the Divine. For us to be ever connected with the Divine. What is the opposite?

There are four paths of yoga - Bhakti yoga or devotion, Karma yoga or action, Gyana yoga or wisdom in education, Dhyana yoga or silence and meditation. There are four methods, ways, or paths of yoga. The aim of yoga is to be ever united with God, to be ever connected with God, to feel the Divine presence of God all the time - that is the aim of yoga.
