BUDDHISTS ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR ARDUOUS EFFORT FOR VIRTUES IN LIFE. THEY BELIEVE IN REINCARNATION, AND THE QUALITY OF LIFE WILL DETERMINE THE KIND OF LIFE THEY WILL HAVE ON THE FOLLOWING REBIRTH. THEIR CONCEPT OF "SALVATION" IS DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER RELIGIONS' CONCEPT. WHAT IS "SALVATION" TO THEM?

MONOTHEISTS BELIEVE THAT THEIR LIFE IS IN GOD'S HAND. FOR THEM, AS FOR NON-BELIEVERS, LIFE EXPERIENCES ARE MANIFOLD, THOSE THAT ARE HEART-LIFTING AND OTHERS THAT ARE GUT-WRENCHING. IN FRONT OF HARDSHIPS, MONOTHEISTS WILL CALL ON THEIR GOD(S) FOR HELP AND RELIEF. HOW DO MONOTHEISTS CONCEIVE OF "SALVATION", ESPECIALLY BEFORE THE GRIM FACE OF DEATH?

PANTHEISTS BELIEVE THAT LIFE AND THE WORLD HAVE MULTIPLE ASPECTS, YET THE APPARENT MULTIPLICITY IS SUNREAL, WHILE THE TRUTH IS THAT ALL IS ONE. LIFE IS UNDENIABLY NOT IN ITS "IDEAL" CONDITION. HOW DO PANTHEISTS, AS THE ADEPTS OF UPANISHAD, UNDERSTAND WHAT "SALVATION" IS?

THOSE WHO FOLLOW DUALISM BELIEVE THAT LIFE AND THE WORLD HINGE ON TWO TRUTHS, AS GOOD-EVIL, CORPOREAL-SPIRITUAL, LIGHT-DARK, ETC. HOWEVER, DUALISTS ALSO YEARN FOR A SITUATION WITHOUT FRICTION, TESION, AND SUFFERING. SO, HOW DO THEY THINK OF "SALVATION"?
