Buddhist Literature advocates for non violence, understanding, and harmony. This makes it a more valuable resource for creating a peaceful world through Buddhist literature. The Bodhisattva is ideal for sacrificing this spirit and unselfishness showcasing the compassion towards the whole mankind. The principles of Ahimsa (Non-violence) and forbearance tend to promote peace and prosperity in the world. As in Buddhism there is no creator for god to explain the origin of the universe. They teach through their literature that everything depends upon everything else and the present events are the causes of the past events while present will be the causes of the future events as well. It helps a person make a picture of religious, political history, and social time of lord Buddha and make the world peaceful.

Vedic literature, foundational to Hinduism, comprises the Vedas, Brahmanas, Aranyakas, and Upanishads. The Vedas (Rigveda, Samaveda, Yajurveda, Atharvaveda) include hymns, rituals, and chants dedicated to deities and cosmic order. The Brahmanas are prose texts detailing ritual practices and their significance. The Aranyakas serve as transitional texts, focusing on the internalization of rituals through meditation.
