There are several different Buddha that inspire mankind, such as the Medicine Buddha for healing.Healing and lasting happiness is maked through meditation. Buddha taught that human suffering is caused because they pursue things that do not give lasting happiness. Buddhism has a variety of rituals and practices which are meant to aid to the journey of enlightenment and channel blessings to others and oneself( endofathought needs period) Buddha of Healing is concerned with helping beings to awaken their past deeds and to seek change of their negative patterns this is known as the aspiration to attain enlightenment (Gordon Bell 1196, 1998).Christians are followers of Jesus Christ and is the largest religious group in the world . Today it has over 2 billion believers worldwide and started in Israel in c 30, AD . Christians believe in one God who is a Trinity Father, Son And Holy Spirit Christians believe that all must come to God for forgiveness and salvation. They believe that there is a personal heaven and hell. ( needs to be clearer, is it a period or comma to much information for one sentence) just like Islam, and that one has to be forgiven and live a life that pleases God to get to heaven , after death.Over time Christianity has split into different religion just like Bahia, but the difference is that their belief is basic and they agree on the fundamentals of the Bible.

Spirituality continues to be a challenge for the health care provider the challenge for the nursing master copy is to develop a definition of spirituality which is broad enough to accommodate the uniqueness of all individuals , patient and nurses and all humanity (Trapper and McSherry, 1998). Nurses should strive to respect patients disregarding of belief, values or religious orientation.Even when they may be undeserving in our thoughts. They may be rebarbative but they deserve care. They may appear unpleasant simply because they are misunderstood. (good statement). Patients of different faith, need to be given the opportunity(watch spacing) by the care giver to express, their beliefs and expect it to be incorporated in their care. This should start at admission, when certain questions need to be asked as a part of the admission process. They shou ld be what is your . religious belief or how do you cope under essay? good idea) This will give the nurse more knowledge of the patient and these values should be a part of the care plan. It is very important that all patients trust their caregiver to do the right thing for them regardless of color, creed or kind. The nurse should do no further harm to her patient, whether it be physical or spiritual.. Cultural sensitivity and religious belief are very important parts of nursing care. The nurse should also be aware that people from the same culture may also have different faith, and should treat each patient as an individual. good) When patients view health care workers as being sensitive to their culture and faith, then they are more likely to respond to care, education and healing. If a patient feels that he is in an environment where he perceives curve then he probably wont respond as well to treatment. .In keeping with the Christian philosophy, the Bible stated that Jesus wen t around different regions, villages and cities , where he preached, taught , and healed the sick and broken hearted. He showed empathy, sometimes just by a touch.Nurses may not always be able to touch, but maybe just a smile may be all that patient need to see to feel welcomed.
