to help those who felt pain and were suffering

97% of Libyans are Muslim (and the majority of these are Sunni). There are also communities of Coptic Orthodox Christians, Anglicans and Catholics. Libya used to have one of the most ancient communities of Jews in the world, but since the pogroms of 1945, the community has dissolved to the point where there are fewer than 100 Jews left in Libya.

Mahtma Gandhi was pure vegeterian, as he was a gujtati who are all strict vegeteriens.

Are you asking about Nirvana? There are also relative bliss states that arise as part of the meditation process.

All of those religions are extremely different from each other. Finding similarities will be difficult. Here are some:

They are all religions

They have all been around for more than a thousand years

They all have ethical standards

They all have followers

They all have traditions

They all believe in spiritual powers beyond the mere physicality of the world.

While Siddhartha was meditating in his quest for enlightenment the demon Mara appeared and tried to distract and tempt him but he resisted the temptations. Ultimately he touched the earth under the bodhi-tree and called upon her, the earth, to testify that he deserved to be left alone, based on his previous good deeds. The earth granted that to him and he reached enlightenment becoming the Buddha.

They are not similar at all, except in some very superficial ways. Catholicism is a religion that worships God, and expects happiness and joy in heaven, any happiness and joy here is a gift from God for accepting the suffering of this life gladly in union with Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ - who came to show us how to suffer. Buddhism expects peace and tranquility in this life through self emptying.

Historians have differing opinions on the precise date of the Buddha's birth but it was around the year 500BCE. He was born into a noble family in Lumbini, an area that today lies in the South of Nepal.

The main one is the belief in re-incarnation.

Siddharta Gautama was remembered for becoming the Buddha, or "Enlightened One." He believed that life was an eternal wheel of suffering and pain, or the Wheel of Dhamma. He also taught that suffering was caused by desire, and one who rid himself of desire would achieve Nirvana, or an end to pain and suffering.

Buddhism is the most advance philosophical system in the world, it can actually help evolve human beings into next evolutionary steps unimaginable by mere common human minds; as such it became the religious choice of the intelligencia of the world.

Once you understand it, and if you are willing to spend time to understand it and practice it, then the powers you can developed are unimaginable by even Gods themselves.

A mere common human mind obviously can not comprehend the greatness and unimaginable fortune that they can even hear the base theories of Buddhism, because they think the teaching is from a mere human being,Siddhartha Gautama.

Not knowing that the teachings are actually come from a group of super beings on the other side, who have tried to elevate our human into a higher levels of consciousness, and Siddhartha Gautama- also known as Shakyamuni Buddha was their messenger; as oppose to a God or Gods based religions- who kept humans as their pets and servants to worship them.

Once a person took the journey of studying Buddhism, and has a little intelligence, then he will gain a lot insights and powers to understand and manipulate his environments. With powers of understanding the truth; he will at once see through the power plays and motivation of the leaders of people, and be able to stay objective.

As leaders of Religious orders are jealous of the powers and understanding of Buddhism, with self-interest of survivals, they have stirred up the anti-Buddhism movement.

About the same time a more violent religion, from the Barbaric states of Middle East, begun their advance into India; unable to convert neither Buddhists and Brahmins, they resolved to kill and plunder the Buddhists, a smaller group of practitioners, who by Buddha peaceful teaching refused to fight back with deadly forces. Moslems had killed, along with followers of Brahmanism- who saw an opportunities to get ridded of their most fierce competitor, had exterminated all Buddhists from India.

Immediately following the destruction of Buddhism, the Brahmanism in term was destroyed as well. After the Brahmanism was destroyed, it remain as local believes and was no longer an organized religion; until after the British took colony of India, and with the rise of nationalism the Brahmanism was revived as Hinduism),

Fortunately many Buddhist teachers with missions foresaw the destruction ofBuddhism in India, and began their journeys to East, and South East and other parts of the world, so the Buddhism exists today.

Actually, initially it did. It became very popular and influential and became the dominate religion for a time.

But little by Little Brahman priests become more integrated with the government and used thier influence to stiffle Buddhism and reinstate Hinduism. But there was an positive influence to Hinduism. Many of the beliefs of Buddhism were incorporated in Hinduism to the point that The Buddha is now thought of as an avatar of Vishnu.

No. That being said, there are many different kinds of meditation practices that people who think of themselves as Buddhists use-and some of them may use music. However, there is nothing in the material that has come down from the Buddha himself that involves playing music while meditating.

The strongest physical evidence of the spread of Buddha along the Silk Road is the Bamiyan Buddha's. The Bamiyan Buddha's were created in the 4th and 5th centuries CE and stood until they were destroyed by the Taliban March 2, 2001.

The dominant religion in India is Islamic religion

Well, he founded Bhuddism for starters. At the time that Siddharta was living in India, the main religion, Hinduism was becoming corrupt in his eyes. So after some soulsearching, he came upon the ways of Bhuddism. He traveled India for the rest of his life, teaching what he had learned until his death. Bhuddism was a major force in the countries of India, China, Japan, Burma and sri lanka for hundreds of years and still are today.

Roman Catholic answer: The similarity is that they are both religious (in the Catholic church this is a technical term to differentiate from lay). They have dedicated their lives to God, and are both under vows or promises. Most friar take the three vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Most monks take three vows of stability, conversion of manners and obedience. Monks are usually bound to a particular monastery, whereas friars are bound to an Order or group of religious. Both of them are single celibates, both of them pray regularly as provided by their Holy Rule and both of them have a distinctive habit.
