All religions/belief systems are unique in some way. Hinduism is really special, because it has no common structure at all. They have different founders, rituals, languages, and more. Hindus believe that everyone has a soul, and that soul is a piece of God. Souls are reincarnated over time, but their goal is to escape from the reincarnation. Essentially, all living things have a soul, like animals. Hindus greet each other with "namaste", which is also a traditional greeting in India. It's a sign of respect, and means that the divinity in me sees the divinity in you, and saying "namaste" is a way of acknowledging that. Hinduism also respects other religions, and sees them as equally important paths to understanding ourselves. This was yet another interesting religion to learn about!

Sofia

6/7/2018 06:09:29 pm

wow! first par!

Hana

6/7/2018 07:31:35 pm

That was a really good P.A.R Sofia! I like how you elaborated on the meaning of saying "namaste" in their culture and the meaning behind it. A tip that I have for you would be to include a hook and an ending for your paragraph to make it flow a bit smoother. Maybe you could also include how much of the population is Hindu but other than those small things, I found it good.

Nicole

6/7/2018 08:55:53 pm

@ Sofia - Your PAR is so good! The only thing I could find wrong with it is that I think the n in "Namaste" should be capitalized.

Hana

6/7/2018 07:26:00 pm

When you think of India, you surely think of Hinduism as a largely common religion that everyone practices in the same way. Although half of this statement is correct, the other half is a bit off. Yes, it is true that India's majority is Hindu, in fact Hinduism is the 3rd largest religion with over 1 billion followers and India is the only country with the majority of the population being Hindu, but it is not true that all Hindus practice their religion in the same way. The Hindu faith is quite special because it has no structure like other religions do. It does not have one specific founder, certain rituals, languages or otherwise. All the things that you would think of when thinking of a bounded religion, hinduism does not have. One thing that all Hindus can find common ground on, is that they find all living beings to have a soul. This belief of souls does not just go for people, it also spans across to animals. Souls are such an important part of their religion because they find the soul to be a piece of God and when searching for God, you must simply look inside yourself. One's soul is reincarnated after death to live a new life but the end goal is to break this continuum of reincarnation and escape from it. Hindus find the soul to be so important that the traditional way to greet someone (saying "namaste") actually means 'the divinity in me sees the divinity in you'. Saying "namaste" is a way of acknowledgement and a sign of respect in their culture. A fact that I find to be heart warming in the faith of hinduism is that, Hindus respect other religions and faiths and see them to be just as important as their own. I find this to be wonderful because they believe that although some people of the world don't have the same views as them, they should nevertheless find the path to understanding one's self even if they don't believe in the same things as Hindus do. Their beliefs encourage them to show compassion towards all living beings in the world and people should take this as a tremendous example. An example of showing kindness and understanding no matter who someone is or what they believe in. That is why I find Hinduism to be such a beautiful faith.

Nicole

6/7/2018 09:25:06 pm

@ Hana - I would like to acknowledge the fact that your PARs are always very thoughtful and clearly not rushed. Kudos to you for always having amazing PARs!

Hana

6/7/2018 09:27:28 pm

@Nicole- Thank you so much Nicole! I really appreciate it.

6/7/2018 09:45:43 pm

@Hana - Your PAR is very neatly written. Your intro & conclusion is also pretty good. However, I feel like your 3rd sentence is a bit too long. Maybe try making it a little more shorter.

Nicole

6/7/2018 07:50:52 pm

You've probably heard of Hinduism before since it's the third largest religion with over 1 billion followers. Unlike some religions like Islam, Hindus primarily live in India which means that Hinduism is not a transnational religion. Hinduism is a bit of a disorganized religion which can make it hard for people to understand sometimes. It has no common ritual, language or scripture. One belief that Hindus have is that we all have souls and that those souls are a representation of God. They also believe that not only humans have souls, but animals too. Hindus often greet people with "Namaste" which means that the divinity within myself acknowledges the divinity in you. The phrase "Namaste" is also often used in meditation like yoga. There is a saying that's like "There are many paths up the mountain, but they all lead to the same place.". This shows how much respect Hindus have for other religions. The paths represent the different beliefs and the place is like the end of life. All in all, I think that Hinduism is a really accepting religion and I'm interested in learning more about it.

Sorry this was so bad.

Hana

6/7/2018 08:58:51 pm

@Nicole- That was certainly NOT a bad paragraph on Hinduism. You did quite well actually. I found how you put the quote about the paths very interesting as you shed a new light on the matter. As for feedback, I would say that you could write a bit more about your points, like why they find acknowledging the soul so important that their traditional greeting basically means I acknowledge you. But overall I find it to be good, you should give yourself more credit.

Naomi

6/7/2018 09:05:01 pm

I'm very bad at grammar, but from what I understand the grammar of your par is pretty good. However you do say 'like' pretty constantly ('There is a saying that's like', 'Unlike some religions like'). So if you want to improve your Par more I guess you could just change one of the 'like's. (Sorry I really don't know how to do grammar :|)

Naomi

6/7/2018 08:22:44 pm

Unlike Buddhism and Christianity, Hinduism is not a transnational religion, majority of Hindus live in India. And unlike most other religions Hinduism does not have a founder, common language, scripture, deity or ritual. It’s more of a disorganized religion. That’s why I find it interesting. Although there is so much diversity within Hinduism, most Hindus can agree that everyone has a soul. These Hindus also believe that these souls are reflections of god. Because our souls are reflections of god we can know God by knowing inside of ourselves. Hindus also believe that all sentient beings have souls, and that our souls are all reincarnated. Fun fact, Namaste translates to ‘the divinity in me acknowledges and salutes the divinity in you’. Hinduism has lots of respect for other religions, because they believe that ‘there are many paths up the mountain, but they are all leading to the same place’. So far I've found Hinduism pretty interesting, and I'd love to learn more.

Nicole

6/7/2018 08:50:21 pm

@ Naomi - Check your capitalization. I noticed that you capitalized God one time and another time didn't.

6/7/2018 10:06:10 pm

@Naomi - Neat intro & conclusion. Well typed PAR. Here is a suggestion for you PAR:
-on your 7th sentence, you need a comma after god

Hana

6/7/2018 09:23:20 pm

@Cassandra- What Mr.Hong means is that we should bring in the medical forms for the camping trip, tomorrow. So like we should hand it in tomorrow. But I get how you got confused there heheh

Did you ever heard about India?In India,everyone belief Hinduism.Hinduism is the third largest religion on the world.And if you are a Indian who beliefs Hinduism,you need to practice every single day.Hinduism is an Indian religion and dharma, or a way of life, widely practised in the Indian subcontinent. Hinduism has been called the oldest religion in the world,and some practitioners and scholars refer to it as Sanātana Dharma, "the eternal tradition", or the "eternal way", beyond human history.Scholars regard Hinduism as a fusion or synthesis of various Indian cultures and traditions,with diverse roots and no founder.This "Hindu synthesis" started to develop between 500 BCE and 300 CE,following the Vedic period (1500 BCE to 500 BCE).

@ Eason:

~Is Hinduism only practiced in India?
~Isn't Hinduism practiced by most Indian people but not all of them?

Nicole

6/7/2018 09:31:55 pm

@ Eason - I know you're new with English so don't take this personally but I noticed that in the first sentence you said "heard" when it should've probably been "hear". I can't blame you for any grammar issues though. I just have to reply to five people.

6/7/2018 10:02:29 pm

@Eason - Good job on your PAR, but here are some errors you have to fix:
-Try adding spaces after your periods and commas
-On your 4th sentence, you need to change 'beliefs' into 'believes' and add 'in' after

Jessica L.

6/7/2018 08:46:37 pm

Most religions have a founder, a common deity, common rituals, and a common scripture. These are the main things found in all religions. However, Hinduism doesn’t have all of that, which makes it a unique religion. Hinduism is the third largest religion in the world. It has over one billion followers and the only mostly Hindu country is India. Hindus believe that everyone has a soul and souls are a reflection of god. This means that we can know god by going inside of ourselves. They also believe that our souls are reincarnated over and over again. Breaking that cycle is the goal of Hindu life. These beliefs also extend over to animals. In Hinduism, there is a traditional greeting which is “Namaste”. “Namaste” means “the divinity in me acknowledges and salutes the divinity within you”. What really makes Hinduism a special religion is that Hindus have a great deal of respect for other religions. Hinduism acknowledges other religions as equally legitimate ways to understand ourselves and God. Hinduism is a religion like no other.

6/7/2018 09:50:24 pm

@Jessica L. - You PAR is very neat and nice, but for the word 'god', you need to capitalize that. That's because you're talking about a specific god, which in this case is the Hinduism god.

Sofia

6/7/2018 10:12:08 pm

@Jessica L.- that was a great PAR!!
there are only a few things I have to say:
First, maybe you should elaborate a little bit more on each idea-I feel like everything moves too quickly, without a lot of detail.
Second (and lastly), maybe add some commas? (I don't really know, because I remember you constantly telling me to delete commas) ;)

Jessica L.

We covered the largest religion and the second largest religion, so use your inferencing skills. What is next? Of course, the third largest religion: Hinduism. Hinduism is the third largest religion with over 1billion followers. It is a very unique culture because it isn't a organized religion it is a disorganized religion. They have no founder, has no common language or otherwise. All o the things you think a religion will define. Hinduism doesn't. The only things they all have in common is that they all believe that everything has a soul and that when you die your soul goes into another body. It might be a cow or a chicken or even a pig. Your soul is a piece of God in Hinduism. So when you are searching for God just look into yourself, you will find God. The end goal for Hindus is to break this continuum of reincarnation and escape from it. Hinduism really respects everyone and also animals that is why is such an amazing religion.

Hana

6/7/2018 09:13:51 pm

@Jerry- Good job on this P.A.R! You did great.
Here are a few grammatical and spelling mistakes I found:
3rd line: *an organized religion, it is a disorganized ...
3rd/4th line: *They have no founder, no common...
4th/5th line: *All the things that you think define a religion, Hinduism doesn't have.
5th line: *The only thing they all have in common, is ...
7th line: *inside of yourself and you will...
You could say a bit more about the importance of the soul by mentioning why they say "namaste" and the meaning behind it.

Hinduism is a religion that is concentraited in india. Unlike most religions, they have no founder, specific practices, or anything that normaly would be seen in an organized, large religion. They belive that all living creatures have a soul, and that they can reach God within themselves. These people respectother religions. They belive that there are multiple ways to reach enlightenment. That there path is only one of many.

Naomi

6/7/2018 09:09:35 pm

You have a couple minor spelling mistakes in your par.
In your first sentence I think it should be concentrated.
Then in your second sentence 'normaly' should be normally.
In the fourth sentence (I think) you typed 'respectother' but I think you just missed the space bar.
Other than that I think your par was pretty good :D

hana

6/7/2018 09:19:04 pm

@Millie- I find that you should elaborate on your points more. You could say what the importance of the soul is and how many people practice this religion

6/7/2018 09:55:38 pm

@Emily W. - Your PAR was quite nice, but try to fix the following points..
-the word 'believe' was spelled incorrectly
-add a more interesting intro & conclusion
usually you would put the size of the noun before the physical quality
-add a space between 'respect' & 'other'

Ah Hinduism,what is this about? It is a disorganized religion,and no one knows much about it,although it is the 3rd most popular religion in the world. It has 1.1 billion followers.In Hinduism the focus revolves around our soul,all living beings have a unique soul,and the soul is a "reflection of god." The soul keeps on reviving,and the goal is to end the reviving.That is all I have to say about Hinduism today.

Yesterday we talked about Buddhism, and now I learned a lot about it. Today, we will be talking about Hinduism. Do you know anything about it? Let me introduce it to you, and you will be learning more about it. Hinduism is a religion in India, which there are a lot of Indian recognized it. Hinduism is the third largest religion in the world, which it also has been called the oldest religion in the world. Let’s talk a more about it. They believe in god, but they have a lot of god not only one, so from this is a little different to other religion. They do believe in a one true god, the supreme spirit, called Brahman. They believe that Brahman bring them spirit and soul, and they are also named Atman.I found out that they do believe that atman contain everything, like male and female, good and evil, movement and stillness. In Hinduism, behavior is really important to them. For example, they need to do the right thing and it is more important than believing the right thing. It is because doing a particular action shows you are part of a particular group for them. They also think that The Hindu practice also show how you respect the god, so they really think it is important to finish all the practices. These are some information about Hinduism, do you learn more about it now. Do you still have any question about Hinduism? If you are interested in it, feel free to go on the internet, and find the information that you are interested in!

There are so many religions that I haven't known or learned about yet, and one of them is Hinduism. The religion is the third largest one worldwide with over one billion followers. Can you believe it? A country that has mostly only Hindu people is in India. Hinduism has no founder, no common language, a deity, scripture nor a common ritual. Many Hindus believe that we have a soul and the soul is a reflection of God. Souls are reincarnated, but the Hindus goal is to get away from reincarnation. Hindus greet each other with Namaste, a traditional greeting in India. Saying Namaste is a sign and respect in their culture. They have much respect for other cultures, seeing the paths towards other religions important. Hinduism to me appears to be a very respectful and caring culture, I look forward to learning more!

Naomi

6/8/2018 08:26:46 am

Overall I really like your Parents, especially your into and conclusion. There's just a couple small Grammar errors.
In your first sentence you might want to change 'haven't' to a different word, because 'haven't' known doesn't really make sense.
That's all I really noticed though, so keep up the good work 👍

Marina

6/7/2018 10:46:36 pm

To be honest I don't know a lot about Hinduism. But I had some questions about them and I found some answers to solve my questions. First, what is the gods of Hindu? Well, Hindus believe that there is one true god, the supreme spirit, called Brahman. Brahman has many forms, pervades the whole universe, and is symbolised by the sacred syllable Om. Most Hindus believe that Brahman is present in every person as the eternal spirit or soul, called the atman. Second question, what is the beliefs of Hindu? I found out that they believe truth is eternal. Also they believe that Brahman, who is there god, is the truth and reality. These were some information and Hinduism, hope these helped.

Hinduism is an ancient religion and it is also the third largest religion in the world and has over 1 billion followers. Most of them live in India. But unlike other religions, there is no founder, common language, scripture, deity or ritual. They do believe in god, but they believe in many different gods and not just one, so that's also another thing that's a bit different from other religions. But of course they have one major god, the supreme spirit, called Brahman. Hindus believe that everyone has a soul and souls are a reflection of god. What this means is that we can know god by going inside of ourselves. This also goes with animals. In this religion which in this case is Hinduism, there is a traditional greeting which is “Namaste”. “Namaste” means “the divinity in me acknowledges and salutes the divinity within you”. Overall, Hinduism is a very respectful religion and treats each religions equally.

Ethan

6/7/2018 11:18:51 pm

Hinduism is the 3 largest religion with over 1 billion followers, it is a non organized religion and there is no founder of this religion. Hindus believe that every living thing has a soul which is a reflection of god so that individual soul that we have means that our natures are divine and one way to think of this notion about our souls being divine is through the Hindu greeting which is "Namaste" a traditional greeting in India. At Hinduisms core it has a great deal of respect for the other world religious traditions.

Vivian

6/7/2018 11:24:45 pm

@ Ethan - For your first sentence you should say "the third largest religion". In my opinion your second sentence seems pretty long, so try to shorten it. Also next time remember to add an intro and conclusion sentence.

6/7/2018 11:25:12 pm

You know how other religions have a founder, a common language, a common deity, and all of those stuff? Well, Hinduism does not. Hinduism can sometimes be a confusing religion due the its disorganization. Hinduism can also be quite cool too. Hindus believe that we all have a should that is a reflection of God. If we go inside of ourselves, we are able to know God. Hindus believe that our souls were reincarnated, meaning that it was in another human’s body before. Not only once though, but multiple times. A Hindu’s goal is to be free from the cycle of rebirth/suffering. Did you know that there’s a traditional greeting for Hindus? It’s called “namaste”. It means ‘the divinity within me, acknowledges and salutes the divinity within you.’ While Hindus say that, they would bring the palms together before the face or chest and bow. It’s quite interesting. Hinduism is a very respectful religion. Hindus recognizes other religions and claim that they’re equally as important. Even though Hinduism is different from all the other religions you may have known, it is a very interesting religion.

Kenton

Hinduism is quite different to the other religions. It is the second largest religion in the world with over 1 billion followers but the majority of them are from India. Hinduism has no common... anything. Nothing that we classified as a bounded and organized religion. Most Hindu's believe we all have a soul and it is the exact reflection of god which means you could know but going inside of yourselves. The ultimate goal of Hindu's is to liberate from the cycle of rebirth and suffering.Like animism, Hindu's believe that all living beings have a soul. This is why the greeting in India is Namaste, which means the divinity within me sees/acknowledges the divinity within you. There is one thing that all Hindus know, "god is one, but the wise call god in many names.

Miles

6/8/2018 07:49:18 am

@ Kento - What do you think they mean when they say "god is one, but the wise call god in many names."

Miles

6/8/2018 07:48:38 am

Hinduism is yet another Indian religion. Similar to Buddhism in that way, however they're very different from each other. First off Hinduism isn't like Christianity, Buddhism, etc. Hinduism is an unorganized religion, and not very traditional in that way. There is no common language that all of them speak, and there aren't any rituals that everyone does. But most Hindu's believe that we all have a soul that is a partial reflection of god, even animals. Yet again, there are more then one god within Hinduism. There are actually about 33 MILLION gods that Hindu's worship. Which definitely sets them apart. However Hinduism doesn't ignore other religions, they actually acknowledge the importance of each and every one of them.

Caden

6/8/2018 08:56:18 am

Hinduism is the third largest religion with over 900 million followers. Unlike most other religions, Hinduism has no single founder, no single scripture and no commonly agreed set of teachings. A few of the holidays are Diwali, Holi, Hanuman Jayanti and thousands of more.

Eknoor

6/10/2018 07:28:04 pm

Hinduism is the third largest religion and it originated in Northern India. Over nine hundred people follow this religion but Hinduism isn't like all religions. Hinduism has no single founder, no single scripture and no commonly agreed set of teachings. They do believe in God, cycle of life, and when someone passes away they watch from above. I the history of Hinduism there was a caste system. The highest caste were the Brahmins. Next were the Kshatriyas. Then the Vaishyas and lastly the Shudras. Hindu's are required to pray three times a day. The main Gods are Hanuman the monkey God, Lord Krishna, and Ganesh the elephant God. I believe that most Hindu's worship them. I'm researching about this religion and it's quite interesting. I can't wait to learn more.

Stephanie

When you think about religions, they all have a common god, language, and deity. But when it comes to Hinduism, they don’t have any of those things. Making them seem like a disorganized religion. However, it’s not as it seems to be. Hindus believe that there is a reflection of god inside them if they look closely.
