IntroductionIntroduction


• Despite a lot of differences, people still manage to live their lives with one, although there are times when conflict arises.

• According to Garth Brooks, “The greatest conflicts are not between two people but between one person and himself.”

• Because of the presence of love, people become sensitive of others and as a result, are able to do the rights things.


• The conflict among individuals, or rather among groups is the rationale behind the presence of so-called guidelines in how people should act and live their lives in a particular community or also known as religion.

• Even though there are a lot of irreconcilable aspects between several religions, it cannot be refuted that all religions have the same aim - to unite all people from all walks of life into a path of sincere understanding, love and concern.

The Eight BeatitudesThe Eight Beatitudes

• The original beatitudes is what was said by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount, but there are also two other versions by Luke and Matthew, wherein both of them adhered to the original but with two different ones nonetheless.

• According to CCC (Catechism for the Catholic Church), the beatitudes are the main new doctrine that Jesus introduced to the world.

The Eightfold PathThe Eightfold Path

• Buddhism teaches its followers that when one does good things to other people, good things will happen to them, as well, and it goes the same way for bad things.

• Buddhism gives its people a way to compensate for what they’ve done in the past and to get one step closer to reaching Nirvana and that is the Eightfold Path.
