Buddhist Worldview
Buddhist worldview is envisaged within the harmony and peace through enlightenment and meditation, which are achieved through living an ethical and pure life. Individuals should also live with good deeds for other members of the society as well as observe humanity and live in a way that supports humanity (Turner, 2014). Buddhists have a theological theme that excludes freedom from suffering, and the members of this religion through seeking morality, wisdom, and meditation can achieve this theme. Therefore, Buddhist worldview regards healthcare as all good deal for humankind. It also holds that desired actions indulged by the Buddhist that promotes conduct that is likely to discourage suffering and pain among the members of the society constitute moral acts, which are considered good (Turner, 2014). Good and moral acts are those that encourage enlightenment. Buddhist does not have God's and the followers of this religion focuses on human beings and encourages them to watch their actions so as to promote morality at all times and live a pure life guided by ethics and be humane and humble to fellow members of the society (Turner, 2014). In answering the three-worldview questions, Buddhist does not have a direct answer to claim their origin since they do not have a monothetic God as in other religions. As to what is wrong with the world, Buddhist believes that suffering began with desires and cravings and the end of suffering will be extinguishing cravings. Lastly, the Buddhist believes that fixing the problem with the world is through self-freeing from the cravings by employing the "Eight Fold Path."
Christian worldview
The Christian worldview is a broad view of the world from the biblical teachings. The Christian worldview is guided by the elements and principles of the Bible (Hicks, 2012). Each Christian is supposed to refresh his or her thoughts by referring to the biblical teachings on a daily basis. Christian worldview affirms that there is a single and most powerful God, who exists on a trinity of three pillars: Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Christians believe that God is the master of all the beginning of the earth as stipulated in Genesis 1:1. Christians believe that the powerful God who created heaven and earth sacrificed his only son, Jesus to die on the Cross-to cleanse the sins of the Christians (Hicks, 2012). Every Christian shall seek the Kingdom of heaven through Jesus Christ.
Christians hold that God's moral nature is unchanging and absolute. God does not condone evil but loves good deeds (Hicks, 2012). The Bible teaches the Christians the differences between evil and good and offers a guide to follow to build upon unambiguous ethics (Hicks, 2012). Christian ethics is based on the character of God and therefore Christians should reflect the will of God in their undertakings (Hicks, 2012). Christians do not believe in the ever-changing world ethics rather live by the revelations in the Bible.
Christian worldview answers the three questions of worldview. These questions are; where did human beings come from and why are they here? Is there anything wrong with the world? How can the problem in the world be solved...
