Buddhism- believed that all life involves suffering because of desire and you can rid yourself of suffering by ridding yourself of desire by disciplining your life.
Hinduism- believed that if you met your caste system requirments you would be rewarded. However you should also be obedient in moral laws and enjoy the pleasures of life.
Socrates- believed that honor and honesty were the most important things about a man.
Jesus of course believd that everyperson should love and pray for one another wven if they are enemies. Those who are righteous and good will recieve evrything in the afterlife.
This believe in salvation in the afterlife was also present in Buddhism, where if you flfilled your soul you would reach nirvana; Hinduism, where all people of any social class would be rewarded equally in the afterlife; and Zoroastrianism, where your soul would be judged and sent either to heaven or away with the god of evil, Angra Mainyu.
Many of these beliefs and teachers were not religiously influenced like Socrates, Confucius and Daoism however all of these techings believed in a similar thing, that moral good character is the best thing someone can have.
