Episode 2
In Episode 2 we discuss Buddhism. There are about 500 million Buddhists in the world today, making up about 7% of the world’s population. Most Buddhists live in countries like Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, and Sri Lanka, Tibet, China, and Vietnam. Just like Hinduism, there are different schools of Buddhism and the differences between them are confusing.
In this episode we discuss the founder of Buddhism, Buddha himself. Then we consider the two main schools of Buddhism – Theravada and Mahayana Buddhism.
It's our prayer that each of these conversations strengthen your confidence in the better story told by Christianity, helping to dispel your doubts, and drawing you closer to the Lord Jesus Christ.
