I initially explored Buddhism, Taoism and Hinduism because they offer a path for the spiritual cultivation of the body, speech and mind. And they all teach karma and many lives which explain many things in life and it accord with the research on reincarnation memories, Near Death Experience and Past lives regression therapy.
But I finally settled on Buddhism as I was impressed with the wise teachings in the suttas. Furthermore while both Taoism and Hinduism teach virtues and the higher practice culminate in deep meditation, Buddhism went further to use the deep meditation to cultivate spiritual wisdom. So far I am progressing well and can see the deepening of peace and happiness. Cheers.
