More religion

Today we reviewed the last major religions in the world. They are Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism. We learned many facts about these different religions like the amount of people that follow Hinduism is 1.1 billion (third largest) and they call them Hindus. Also they have no distinct founder, it is a series of intellectual or philosophical points of view, rather than a rigid, strict set of beliefs. Also the amount of adherents that Buddhism has 500 mill. to 1.5 billion and their geographic location is southeast Asia, China, Nepal, Japan. I learned that they have four different denominations which are Tibetan, Zen,Theravada, Amidst. In Buddhism there are four noble truths that lead to the EightFold path which are Right view, Right intention, Right speech, Right action, Right livelihood, Right effort, Right mindfulness, Right dedication. Finally learned that judaism has 14 - 18 million (ninth) adherents in the world and their holy book is The Torah which is the first five books of the Old Testament: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy.
