It is a unique world religion in its own right, though it has much in common with Hinduism in that both teach Karma (cause-and-effect ethics), Maya (the illusory nature of the world), and Samsara (the cycle of reincarnation).
Ni dini ya kipekee ya dunia katika haki yake yenyewe, ingawa ina mengi ya kushiriki na Uhindu katika kwamba zote hufundisha Karma (maadili kinachosababisha-na-athari), Maya (hadithi asili ya dunia), na Samsara (mzunguko wa kuzaliwa upya).
