What is the biggest teaching in the world?
The four major religions in the world are Buddhism, Christianity, Catholicism and Islam. Social science believes that religion is a cultural phenomenon that appears at a certain historical stage when human society develops, and it belongs to social ideology. The main feature is to believe that there are supernatural mysterious forces or entities outside the real world, which makes people awe and worship this mystery, and thus produces belief cognition and ritual activities, which does not belong to a spiritual sustenance derived from myth.

Buddhism originated more than 2,500 years ago, and was founded by Gautama Siddharta, Prince of Kapilowei Kingdom (now Nepal) in ancient India. People also call him Sakyamuni. Buddha means the awakened one. Buddha is also known as Tathagata, repentance, enlightenment, clear behavior, good death, worldly solution, supreme teacher, mediator, teacher of heaven and man, and Buddha. Buddhism attaches importance to the progress and consciousness of human mind and morality. The purpose of practicing Buddhism is to discover the truth of life and the universe according to Siddhartha's practice method, and finally transcend life and death and suffering, cut off all troubles and get relief.

Christianity is considered as the largest religion in the world. In politics, economy, science, education, culture and art, Christianity has shaped all aspects of human civilization, which originated in the Roman province of Palestine (Israel, Palestine and Jordan today). It is based on the birth, preaching, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Christianity mainly includes: Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity, Protestantism and other smaller sects take Jesus Christ as the center, take the Bible as the blueprint, and the core idea is the gospel, that is, the redemption of God Jesus Christ, which fully shows God's selfless love for all mankind and the whole universe. God loves the world so much that he even gave his only son (Jesus Christ) to them, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

Islam rose in the Arabian Peninsula in the early 7th century, and was founded by its prophet Muhammad. Taking Allah as the only true god as the slogan, he put forward the ideas of prohibiting usury, giving alms to the poor, peace and tranquility. The belief in Islam mainly includes theory and practice. The theoretical part includes belief (imam), that is, belief in God, angels, classics, prophets, afterlife and fate (referred to as "six major beliefs"). The practical part includes the good deeds that Muslims must follow and five religious lessons (referred to as "the five pillars of Islam"). The so-called five pillars of Islam are "telling the truth", worship, fasting, zakat and pilgrimage, which are called "reading, ritual, fasting, class and pilgrimage" for short. Abiding by the five pillars of Islam is the basic manifestation of Muslim piety. Among the five pillars of Islam, "mindfulness" is the foundation, "ritual" is the key link, and the five connotations are mutually causal and complementary, which constitutes a systematic and complete Islamic practice system.

Catholicism, whose predecessor was the western school of Christianity that existed in the Latin region of the Western Roman Empire in the early days, was centered on Rome. Catholicism believes that everything in the universe is created by God, and of course, human beings are also created by God.
