The choice of the future profession is a very important step in the life of every person. And it should not be spontaneous or accidental; you need to think carefully about your choice, weigh the pros and cons of the future profession, because this is a great responsibility to yourself and other people in the future. And even more so you can not choose a profession, putting priority number one, money. Of course, we should focus on the relevance, demand for the chosen profession, demand in the labor market and the level of its payment. But blindly going to the place where you pay the most is a gross error that will negatively affect your future life. As Confucius said: "Choose a job for yourself, and you will not have to work any more day!". These words mean that the profession chosen by you will become a practical hobby, for which you are also paid money.

For the history the Buddhism could become several times the state religion in this or that Asian country. Somewhere he was supported, somewhere expelled, and in some centuries started being supported again. The Buddhism as world religion endured a set of transformations, having stratified on a set of schools and currents in number of which any other world religion won't be compared to it. Opportunity to treat Buddhism dogma at discretion allowed it to unite with radical religions of many countries, having turned into a Lamaism in Tibet or a zen Buddhism in China. Exoticism of Buddhist dogma at last brought it into Europe and America where it was picked actively up by people who weren't satisfied any more by Christianity.Specifics of the Buddhism that it contains in itself(himself) lines of world religion both open system, and line of national religions - the closed systems about which it is accepted to say that they can "be absorbed only with mother's milk". It is caused historically, in the Buddhism there were in parallel two processes: - distribution in the different countries of big traditions (Hinayana, the Mahajana and Vajrayana), uniform for Buddhists of the whole world, on the one hand- and emergence of the national forms of household religiousness dictated by specific conditions of life and cultural realities with another. It is remarkable that in India the Buddhism didn't gain further development. According to statistical data for the beginning of the XXI century it is professed by less than 0,5% of the Indian population (1), what even it is less, than in Russia where 1% of the population ranks itself as Buddhists. The dominating religion of India there is a Hinduism, Islam is also widespread.
