Some people believe they will find the happiness and peace of mind they are looking for in religions such as Hinduism or Buddhism. Many people have been influenced by these eastern religions because of their aura of mystery and mysticism, and because they make use of techniques such as meditation, and because of the unusual attitudes, dress, manner of speech and religious practices of those who follow them.
However, although religions like Hinduism and Buddhism- among the oldest we know of-give some good ethical advice, not everything they contain is true.

wow that was an ignorant post. There is no more of an "aura of mystery and mysticism" around buddhism and hinduism than there is around christiany or any other major religion. Just because you personally aren't familiar with the beliefs and doctrines that make up these religions doesn't mean the rest of the world is. Peopl follow these religions for the exact same reasons they follow christianity, because they're personal beileifs are aligned with those taught by that religion.
