Buddhism and Christianity

Both Buddhism and Christianity are considered to be a religion which is an organized set of beliefs that encodes a person’s or a group’s understanding and attitudes toward of the essence or nature of reality. Although Buddhism and Christianity are religions, there are two differences between them which are their ceremonies and festivals.
Firstly, in Buddhism, The precept of Buddhism is to do good things and you will get good things back to your life, but if you do bad things, those sins will return to you. Buddhists believe that if we make merit by offering something like food and flowers to the monks or set the animals’ life free, all good lucks will return to us, the Buddhists. However, in Christianity, people usually confess their sin by talking to the priest in church in order to redeem from sin which is called “confession sin”.
Secondly, The Songkran tradition is recognized as a valuable tradition for the Thai community, society and religion. This festival is also called "Water Festival" as people believe that water will wash away bad luck. At the same time, Thanksgiving Day is a day set aside each year for giving thanks to God for blessings received during the year. On this day, people give thanks with feasting and prayer. Thanksgiving is usually a family day, celebrated with big dinners and joyous reunions. The very mention of Thanksgiving often calls up memories of kitchens and pantries crowded with good things to eat. Thanksgiving is also a time for serious religious thinking, church services, and prayer.
In conclusion, although Buddhism and Christianity are both called “religion”, there are differences in ceremonies and festivals....
