Final+Statement

====//'Examination of the key aspects of major world religions reveals a common commitment to seek to live together in peace and goodwill. This desire arises not only from our community humanity but also from our being people of faith and people of prayer'// ====

Our final statement in response to the reflection statement that was given to use to reflect on throughout this assignment: The people of the Hindu faith are committed to peace and goodwill in world. This is evident in their expressions of humanity, Hindus believe in and pray to different gods, each god has a specific role and are believed to be able to help the Hindu people with. As people of faith they strive to be true to this statement, when they pray to their various Gods, for wealth, courage and strength. This helps add peace to the world because without it they would have no faith and without no faith there would be no peace in the world.



The Hindu people have markings on thier forehead to help bring out their inner spirt to connect closer to their Gods. They also eat the fruit that has been blessed by the Gods, which helps them become more holy people. This also then helps create peace among the world, because they bring their holiness upon other people. As people of prayer they preform rituals everyday, at both weddings and ceremonies, they dothis by giving offerings to their Gods, for example coconuts and bananas. The Hindu people worship everyday before dawn, this shows us that they are people of faith. It seems to us that the Hindu's intentions in praying are to bring happiness and peace to everyone in the world, for example, the priest praying for everyone that visited the temple to have happiness and a peaceful journey. We the students hope that we can learn more about the different people in the community and their various religons so that we can better understand their culture and how we all connect to one another.
