Anyone can become a Buddha by gaining merit. Each person should work for goodness, happiness and peace, develop cognizance which leads to the realization of ultimate truth, they believe. There are several different Buddha that inspire mankind, such as the Medicine Buddha for healing.Healing and lasting happiness is progress tod through meditation. Buddha taught that serviceman 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 bring blessings to others and oneself( endofathought motivatings 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 an d is the largest religious convocation in the world . Today it has over 2 billion believers intercontinental 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.

( needs to be clearer, is it a period or comma to much information for one sentence) conscionable same 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 salutary like Bahia, but the difference is that their belief is basic and they agree on the fundamentals of the book of account. The Christian believes that he should pray for forgiveness and healing when he(is) are sick. Their belief is built on their faith in Jesus Christ. tally to James 5 (12-15), if anyone is sick he should call for the elders of the church who shou ld pray for him and anoint him with oil.

Spirituality continues to be a challenge for the health care provider the challenge for the breast feeding professional is to develop a definition of spirituality which is broad equal to accommodate the uniqueness of all individuals , patient and nurses and all humanity (Trapper and McSherry, 1998). Nurses should pass on to respect patients irrespective of belief, values or religious orientation.Even when they may be undeserving in our thoughts. They may be unpleasant but they be 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, the ir 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 should be what is your . religious belief or how do you cope under stress? good idea) This will give the nurse more(prenominal) knowledge of the patient and these values should be a part of the care plan. It is very important that all patients avow 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 awake 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 patie nt feels that he is in an environment where he perceives bias then he probably wint respond as well to treatment. .In keeping with the Christian philosophy, the Bible stated that Jesus went 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.
