In a big meadow, there was a little boy who woke up alone surrounded by grass and small flowers.

The boy knew that he had to find his family but the only thing that he could remember was to stay on the or near the path during his travels or else something bad would happen to him.

The boy also knew that he was being sent on a mission to learn more about different religions, or systems of faith and worship.

Excited to go on his way, the boy started to walk. 

After walking for a while, the Boy was able to see a village in the distance.

Before reaching the village, the boy saw a orange-robed monk meditating and decided to sit down next to him. 

They sat in comfortable silence until the boy decided to ask the monk a question.

The boy turned to the monk, "Do you know where this road leads to? I don't want to be alone anymore."

"This road leads to anywhere you desire as long as you stick to your beliefs."

"Your mind is confused right now, but in time you will find your answer," the monk began, "It is important to suffer, know the cause of suffering and the path to the end of suffering is the way to Nirvana, through the Four Noble Truths (Mark)."

"What are the Four Noble Truths?"

"Come, walk with me, and I'll explain more about Buddhism and our view on life and suffering."

After walking around the town for a while, the Monk asked the boy what he observed.

"There are all kinds of people around here! There are old people, young people, sick people, and healthy people!"

"It's good that you know what they are, and through the eightfold path, you will be able to correctly identify and deal with the suffering in your mind ("The Eightfold Path")." The monk stopped to think before continuing, "I believe that the first step of the Eightfold paths would help you, Right Knowledge. Right knowledge can be achieved by looking at the cause and effect of decisions ("Noble Eightfold Path")."

The monk had agreed with the boy that he should search for a map of the surrounding area If he wanted to continue on his journey, and led him to the library.

While the boy was searching for a map, the monk was regaling him with tales about Buddhism, and the beliefs of Buddha. 

"Buddha believed that there were Four Noble Truths in the world, The Truth of Suffering, the cause of suffering, stop suffering, and the path leading to the stopping of suffering (Hsing). Right, Knowledge is part of the last truth, the Eightfold Path, and is an action that is taken to stop suffering."

After walking to the path that led out of the village, the boy said a tearful goodbye to the monk. 

"I'm afraid that I will have to leave you here," The monk said reluctantly before continuing, "However, keep in mind that you have limits to stay within the path, if you reach a crossroads, follow your gut, don't be tempted by the evils of the world"

"Thank you, Mr. Monk! I was really lonely before you appeared. I'll do my best to follow your advice!"

And so, the boy went on his way, thinking about the new information given to him, if the Right Knowledge was to think about the cause and effect relationship of actions, then he would just need to observe the people he would come across and what he did in everyday life ("Philosophy 312: Oriental")

After separating from the Buddhist monk, the Boy reached a crossroads. While wondering what to do, a well-dressed man came up to him. 

"You should choose a path, don't be afraid of making the wrong decision, God will be here watching and protecting you."

The boy chooses to go on the left path, and the man follows him. They continue to talk to each other. 

It seems like you are lost. Would you like some help or advice?"

Started, the boy started to pour out his thoughts, early in tears, "I think the map that I took from the library was wrong? I don't know what happened? I'm trying to find my family but I don't know how to get to them." 

"Your family will be waiting for your arrival, but in the meanwhile, you need to calm down, you should not shoulder every burden alone," Before continuing, the man patted the boy's shoulder, "Like the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, the Trinity of Christianity puts an aspect of faith into each one ("The Blessed Trinity")."

With a sniffle, the boy asked "What is the Trinity, and what does it have to do with me?"

"The Trinity is the God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit in one. They are the same but not at the same time. For example, Jesus is God, but he is not the Holy Spirit or the Father, all different personas but the same people (Perman)." The pastor smiled down at the boy, "You should not be expected to shoulder such a heavy burden when God himself has different personas for different things. You need to take a break and calm down, you're not in this alone, God is watching over you."

"Mister, why are you talking to me? Do you want something from me?"

Christianity is a very large religion, with its people part of a family-like community, this community helps and supports each other(ORBC Family). It is important for you to help others and others to help you. I hope in the future, you will return the favor and help someone else in need."

"Come, I'll walk with you to the next part of your journey." the man said before starting to walk on the path again.

After walking for a good chunk of time, the boy and the pastor had to part ways.

"I'm going to have to leave you here. As much as I would like to go with you on the rest of your journey, we'll have to go our separate ways here."

"Wait! Mister! Do you know where this path leads to"

"As long as you apply what you have learned during your journey you'll be fine."

Left alone, the boy starts making his way down the shaded path, he noticed that it was considerably more overgrown than the previous sections, with trees and bushes instead of fields of grass. 

Noticing something on the ground, the boy bent over to pick it up, noticing a carved wooden statue of a bird stretching its wings. 

"Hey boy! Who do you think you are, touching the totem of my guardian spirit?"

Startled, the boy almost dropped the statue before it dropped

The boy looked to his left, then his right before seeing two people who looked incredibly similar, if dressed a bit differently come out of the forest. 

"Please give my brother back his totem," asked the girl nicely, "It is around the time of day for him to start his individual prayers to his guardian spirit ("Objiwe")."

"That is correct, as my sister has said, it is time for me to do the traditional Ojibwa offerings to my guardian spirit, with tobacco and food, and you still have my totem."
