Do all traditional religions have a core notion of surrender as a central tenet? 🤔 Islam and Christianity do but I’m not sure of the rest.

Buddhism doesn’t seem to unless you treat refuge/sharanam as an equivalent idea The Bhakti sects of Hinduism arguably do, though devotion is also not exactly surrender

gotcha! interesting though how they seem to blur when the idea of surrender is perceived as loss of individual identity towards a collective identity
