Yoga is a very small part, rather a minuscule part of the text.

All the gods I told you live in heaven.
The supreme being is everywhere.
You call him Jesus.
We call him Krishna.

Buddhism by comparison is very easy to comprehend. No gods, no goddesses, just "The buck stops here". period.

BUddhism took a lot of studying for me to comprehend. It took me sitting down with my current lama to finally say, "Oh my Gods, I finally get it". He has the prettiest smile, the lama who teaches at my center. I think he wanted to celebrate the day the light finally shined into my brain LOL

LOL!!! HAHAHA I know that feeling! If you read the research thread in the wicca boards I think every wiccan Pagan and anyone else was glad that the light clicked on!!!
It was easy for me to start learning what wiccans and pagans dont believe but some times hard to understand what they do believe because everyone believe different but thats ok...
I was raised that everyone believes one way or they go to hell and when a new preacher come then we believe his way or go to hell or kick the preacher out and get a new one...there was not any room for ok you believe this way and I believe another and we all go to heaven and live happily ever after. that just didnt make sense and I kept looking for a string or something.
and now I an trying to learn buddhism and Hinduism but I dont have a starting point I had never heard about any of these religions so I have no preconseved ideas or anything.... So it is very hard to understand and comprehend!

To understand Hinduism, try reciting RAMA few times a day. Knowledge will emerge.

I do not think that this thread has any thing to do with comparison between Buddhism and Hinduism. I am only speaking about Hinduism. I would kindly request that another thread be made about how Buddhism is easy. Please.
