Although the movie has a few noticeable similarities‚ Hollywood loses the true value and the plot of the original short story. The House of Usher creates a whole new story‚ that takes the name of the story

Buddhism is not a religion? In my essay I am going to explain if Buddhism is a religion or not. Personally I think it is a religion because Buddhism is a way of life on the teachings of a man who lived in northern India more than two and a half thousand years ago. The followers called him Buddha. Buddhists think that he had discovered the truth about life. Buddhists want to get enlightened by doing good things and by meditating.
