Alternative Medicine:

Spiritual Connections with 

Buddhism and Hinduism

Many people, not even health care professionals, are aware that many alternative therapies are based on the healing practices involved with Buddhism and Hinduism. Both of these world wide religions are steeped in occult tradition.

Hinduism's roots are deep, dating back about 5,000 years. Its scriptures the Baghavita and others are among the oldest records of texts in existence. Hinduism is a polytheistic religion (many gods) worship over 330 million gods and goddesses. It incorporates a kind of "trinity" of higher gods named, Vishnu, Rava and Krishna. However, the supreme god is known as Brahma. One of the chief beliefs of Hinduism is Reincarnation. Through reincarnation, or the cycle of rebirth, its adherents hope to escape this life and merge with the Universal Life Force Brahma. Hindus are strongly connected with the occult. Worshipers contact, communicate, receive information and practice rituals which incorporate millions of spirits. Through the practice of Yoga, a mind controlling - exercise, Hindus open themselves to channel various dieties and deceased ancestors.

Buddhism is rooted in antiquity and is about 2500 years old. Unlike Hinduism it is pantheistic (all is god) and is the primary religion of the Asian region of the world. Buddhism was originally a split from Hinduism and shares the belief in Reincarnation. One of its primary concepts is the belief in karma or the idea that a person's good and bad deeds affect their reincarnation in the next cycle of rebirth. Whereas Hinduism is largely contained in India, Buddhism swept the Asian continent, blending and merging with many other religions. It merged with Taoism in China and folk religion in Tibet. Both incorporate a belief in magic, casting spells, communication with deceased ancestors and communicating and worshiping a variety of spirits. Many of these were neatly packaged into Buddhism and are widely practiced today. Buddhism is steeped in occult practices and remains widely practiced throughout the world.

Christianity is different from Hinduism and Buddhism. Christianity is monotheistic. Christians worship one God. Both Hindus and Buddhists teach about an impersonal, unknowable god but for Christians, God is known through relationship with His Son Jesus Christ. Our goal is not rebirth into eventual oblivion, our goal is the New Birth and everlasting life.

Many alternative therapies base their practices on Hinduism's Universal Life Force and Buddhism's theology of karma and the need for balancing our good and bad (ying and yang. Alternative therapies make no pretense at occult practice but clearly state that they channel the Universal Life Force to bring healing. By reading your "aura" (energy field) they will attempt to re-balance your karma.
