The essay requires students to compare a teaching or practice in Buddhism with an analogous teaching or practice in Christianity. (A) Explain each teaching or practice you are comparing in their specific religious context. (B) What are some of the shared meanings and values present in the teachings or practices? (C) What are the key differences? (D) How might the teachings and practices of these two traditions inform each other?
