Traditional religions are slowly dying as the years pass. Western allopathic medicine now has the ability of locating the exact time of death in the body. Eastern religions integrate pre-existing local traditions into their practices. These traditions include Buddhism (Hinduism), Bon (an indigenous Tibetan religion), and Hinduism (Westernism). Bon also includes shamanic beliefs, rituals to banish demons, as well as rituals that deal in the transmigration and death of the soul. These religious traditions have combined to develop a sophisticated system for understanding how death happens.
Traditional religions are dying with time
While traditional religions have long been considered a dying force, there are a number of recent examples that indicate traditional religious practices are changing. For instance, the Asatru faith celebrates ancient mythology and customs rather than focusing on a particular doctrine. It is active in social and environmental issues and has become a popular option among Icelanders. Similar movements have appeared across Europe, including Druidry in England. Some Asatru members are motivated conservative traditional values, and have clashed in the past with others who believe otherwise.
Western allopathic medical programs are capable of locating a momentary death in the body.
Allopathic medicine is a type of medicine that uses drugs to treat symptoms. These methods target specific organs and do not take into account the moment of death. While the term "allopathy" was once used to denigrate alternative medicine, it has become a more appropriate term for today's Western medical systems.
Eastern religions incorporate pre-existing indigenous traditions
In the age of global transculturation, the geographic distinction between East and West religions is not accurate. However, there are some common aspects between East and West religions.
Protestantism
As a response to the teachings of both the Eastern Orthodox Church and the medieval Catholic Church, the Protestant movement was created at the start of the 16th century. It grew to be one of three major forces in Christianity and spread throughout Europe and beyond. It influenced the social, political and cultural life of many European nations.
Tibetan tradition
Some people say the Tibetan tradition is a dying religion, but others disagree. According to Tibetan tradition, the dead are still connected to this world up until 21 days after they die. Their loved ones can still communicate with them and help to let go. This is a very comforting tradition. However it is important to keep in mind that the mind is still subtle.
Orthodox Catholicism
Orthodox Catholicism, which is based in the West has seen a decline due to the changes within the Roman Catholic Church. The Catholic Church views the church in a different way than Orthodox Catholicism. The Orthodox Church emphasizes that baptism is an act of cleansing, and remission to God's Church.
