Buddhism and Jainism have a number of similarities. Both Buddhism and Jainism focused on karma, the moral law of cause and effect, and reincarnation. However, the two religion has different views on karma. In Buddhism, karma follows the cause and effect method. If one does good, it will be accumulated for the betterment of the next life or to obtain nirvana, liberation from the cycle of life. Jainism’s concept of karma is that it attaches itself to the soul in the beginning. People have to clean themselves from karma through prayers and nonviolence. Both religions promotes nonviolence. In Buddhism, nonviolence plays a part in The Noble Eightfold Path. In Jainism, it is a foundation of Jain ethics. Buddhism and Jainism both encourages self control. In Buddhism, suffering can be prevented if a person’s wants is controlled. In Jainism, control benefits “the self”. Buddhism and Jainism rejects the idea of a creational god. Both religion believes that everything is in a constant flow and they are ever changing.
