From the Paper:

"Since about 75% of Americans adults identify themselves as Christian and only 0.5% view themselves as Buddhist, it may be useful to compare Buddhism with the U.S.'s dominant religion" (Robinson 2004). The first place to start in considering the religion of Buddhism is to learn about the religion's core beliefs. Buddhism believes in the Four Noble Truths, The Five Precepts, the Eightfold Path, Aspiration and the Three Treasures. An important part of Buddhism is meditation and Dharma. Most temples have regular services with a combination of teachings, meditation, chanting, and socializing. The purpose of this paper is to compare Buddhism with Christianity with the methodology of visiting a Buddhist Temple and interviewing someone from the Buddhist faith.
