Reading about religions I have heard of, but am not quite familiar with is always interesting. I was surprised to learn that most/all religions originated in Asia.

My favorite part was reading about Hinduism and Buddhism and how their culture and ideals have meaning in today's modern culture. Dharma, the duties one has while on earth, has most meaning for those familiar with yoga classes, which excludes most modern Americans. However anyone familiar with today's media is familiar with the basic understanding of Karma. If you do good duties for your "dharma" you accumulate good karma, alternatively if you do bad dharma you accumulate bad karma. I never knew the appropriate term for dharma, I would call karma, brownie points you accrue while living on earth.
