- Personal virtue, free will and suffering
- Karma
- Hindus know they have free will to decide their path in life. They have a moral responsibility
- Katha Upanishad 2.1-2
- Dharma
- This is one of the four aims of human life, the others being artha, kama, moksha
- Suffering
- Hindus think that suffering happens partly because of the sum of all the bad karma in people's previous lives.
- Another type of suffering is due to 'moral evil', or the bad things humans do
- Hindus attempt to break free from the suffering in this world and reach moksha
- They believe inner peace is achieved by changing self rather than simply changing material circumstances
- They also believe that it's a part of dharma to relieve the suffering of others
