Between 750 B.C. to A.D. 1650 there was lots of ups and downs about religions. There were also many different types of religions such as Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism along with many others that may have been unheard of or had been ignored. There are documents that have been found that tell many stories about the time period and the things that went on during that time. Some of the documents are The Exposition of the Correct,The Harvest Ritual, the Mahabharata, and the Excerpt from the Alhambra Decree issued in 1492 by Isabella and Ferdinand of Spain. The first document is The Exposition of the Correct. This document was issued when Gihwa, a Korean scholar who lived from 1376- 1433 A.D. portrays Buddhism as a positive influence. Gihwa encouraged the the practice of Buddhism due to the renewing of the body and how people’s minds are corrected. Gihwa thought that there was a benefit to the people from the flow of virtuous behavior. The second document is The Harvest Ritual witch is a excerpt from the Yengishiki, a collection of Shinto rituals. (927 A.D.) The speaker asks of one thing he asks for Harvest from the Sovereign Gods. The thing that the speaker offers in return is the Offerings of the Sovereign Grand-child’s augustness. The speaker promises that he will take care of the harvest and do the correct thing with it and not let it spoil. The Mahabharata is the third document. The Mahabharata is a ancient text from the Hindu culture that says how the earth was created and the earth is described by a mighty egg. The Yuga is the process of the creation and Brahma is the true light. According to Hinduism all the living things and the nonliving things after the Yuga will “continueth perpetually to revolve in the world, without beginning and without end, this wheel which causeth the destruction of all things.” The final Excerpt is the Alhambra Decree issued in 1492 by Isabella and Ferdinand of Spain. Isabella and Ferdinand had said; “And we further order in this edict that all Jews and Jewesses of wether age that reside in our domain and territories, that they leave with their son and daughters.” Jews were no longer wanted in Spain and were forced to leave. The ones who were to disobey these rules were to be punished with death and confiscation of all belongings. Due to the many types of religions there were many changes in the areas of Spain and many other places not everyone could be happy with just one religion they had to disagree with one thing and try to remove the people that did believe. They thought that if there was a religion that the King was losing power and that that religion needed to be removed in any was possible.
