| | | | | Neo-Buddhism: Encyclopedia II - Religious conversion - Conversion to religions of Indic origin Religions of Indic origin such as Hinduism, Sikhism and Buddhism do not believe in conversion as a form of expansion, although they welcome anybody to join their faiths. The reason for this is the strongly held belief that "all religions are true and are only different paths to the same truth". Followers also believe the religion you follow is to be chosen based on an individual's temperament, birth etc. Also, what would be very strange and foreign to non-Indic origin faiths is that people can claim to be follower of multiple religions.

| | | | | Neo-Buddhism: Encyclopedia II - Religious conversion - Conversion to Islam One becomes a Muslim by believing Allah (Allah is the unique name of God in Islam) is the only God and Muhammad is Allah 's messenger. A person is considered a Muslim from the moment he sincerely makes this witness, the shahada. Of course a new Muslim has to familiarize himself/herself with the practices of Islam, but there is no formal requirement for that. It is a personal process; acceptance of all of that is taken to follow from the original statement, since all of Islam is considered to derive from either ...

According to the New Testament, Jesus commanded his disciples to "go into the world and make disciples of all nations". Evangelism, or 'spreading the Good News' has been a central part of the life of Christians since that time. In Christianity conversion is properly seen as the work of God.

| | | | | Neo-Buddhism: Encyclopedia II - Religious conversion - Conversion to new religious movements and cults Conversion to new religious movements (NRM's) is riddled with controversies. The anti-cult movement sometimes uses the term thought reform or even brainwashing, though the latter term has now become discredited. Often they will call certain NRM's cults. However, the definition of a cult has become so broad in many instances it is almost meaningless and is used to define anything outside Orthodoxy. NRMs are very diverse and it is not clear whether conversion to NRMs differs from conversi ...

| | | | | Neo-Buddhism: Encyclopedia II - Religious conversion - Proselytism The English language word proselytism is derived ultimately from the Greek language verb προσέρχομαι 'to approach, to come toward'. It generally describes attempts to convert a person from one point of view to another, usually in a religious context.

| | | | | | Neo-Buddhism: Encyclopedia II - Neo-Buddhism - Origins At the beginning of the 20th century, Buddhism was all but dead in India, the land of its origin. Certain tribal groups in Bengal continued to follow Buddhism, as did peoples in Ladakh and Sikkim where Tibetan culture was influential, but these groups were on the margins of Indian society. Historical research and increased contact with the rest of the Buddhist world, however, led to renewed interest in Buddhism. Thinkers such as Iyothee Thass, Brahmananda Reddy, and Dharmananda Kosambi began ...

| | | | | Neo-Buddhism: Encyclopedia II - Neo-Buddhism - Distinctive interpretation Ambedkarite Buddhists espouse an eclectic version of Buddhism, primarily based on Theravada, but with additional influences from Mahayana and Vajrayana. On many subjects, they give Buddhism a distinctive interpretation. Of particular note is their emphasis on Shakyamuni Buddha as a political and social reformer, rather than merely as a spiritual leader. They point out that the Buddha required his monastic followers to ignore caste distinctions, and that he lambasted racialist justifications for social inequality that existed in his own time. ...
