I have studied many different religions some more in depth than others. I have read many scriptures. Apart from the Qoran and the Bible I have read the Bhagavad gita, the Yoga sutra of Patanjali, the Buddhist Dhammapada, books about the Advaita philosophy, some Upanishads, books about the different schools of Hinduism and Buddhism and so many other books. For me Hinduism and Buddhism are the absolutely deepest and most peaceful religions that exist. No matter how much I read about them I never seem to get tired of them and they keep amazing me more and more. The deeper I get into their philosophy the more fascinated I get.
