What do you think about the differences between Buddhism and the Indigenous religions? Followers of Indigenous religions seem to revere nature because it is seen as the source and sustainer of life. For Buddhists, life on earth is something like a curse and they want to escape from the cycle of rebirth.

Answer by ryunyo
No doubt through the ages as life developed on this planet, there have been organisms that were content for long periods. They lost out evolutionarily to the discontent who kept scrambling. It’s just evolution. Earthly life is something like a curse for that reason. And nature is at the same time the source and sustainer of it. No disagreement there. If we follow nature we will still have a minimum of discontent, but if we don’t, it gets a hell of a lot worse. Take the difference in the health of those who eat natural foods and those who eat fast foods, for example.

The indigenous religions teach how to get along best while in this world, whereas Buddhism teaches you how to overcome it. Comparable to an aspirin for a headache, as opposed to an antibiotic to kill the germs that caused it. They both have their function, and can work very well together.

well Its true.Do you enjoy being sick or getting old or death?How many problems have you faced until now?Dont you think people are suffering due to the endless births.Do you have inner peace and happiness?Ask these questions from yourself.

In buddhism we value inner peace and happiness.There are four noble truths.

1.The Nature of Suffering (Dukkha):
“This is the noble truth of suffering: birth is suffering, aging is suffering, illness is suffering, death is suffering; sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief and despair are suffering; union with what is displeasing is suffering; separation from what is pleasing is suffering; not to get what one wants is suffering; in brief, the five aggregates subject to clinging are suffering.”[9][10]

2.Suffering’s Origin (Samudaya):
“This is the noble truth of the origin of suffering: it is this craving which leads to renewed existence, accompanied by delight and lust, seeking delight here and there, that is, craving for sensual pleasures, craving for existence, craving for extermination.”[9][10]

3.Suffering’s Cessation (Nirodha):
“This is the noble truth of the cessation of suffering: it is the remainderless fading away and cessation of that same craving, the giving up and relinquishing of it, freedom from it, nonreliance on it.”[9][10]

4.The Way (Mārga) Leading to the Cessation of Suffering:
“This is the noble truth of the way leading to the cessation of suffering: it is the Noble Eightfold Path; that is, right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration

If you stop the rebirth you will face no more sufferings. Enlightenment or nibbana is the greatest.
