I would like to begin by discussing a philosophy of Buddhism that was apparent while reading the “Seven Taoist Masters”. The philosophy of the four noble truths played a major role in Ch’iu Ch’u-chi reaching the immortal realm. Three of the four noble truths states that life is dukkha (suffering), tanha (cravings/desires) causes dukkha, and we can overcome tanha. In the book Master Wang refused to accept Ch’iu Ch’u-chi as a student. This was because he saw a great amount of suffering in Ch’iu Ch’u-chi’s future, if he attempted to cultivate the Tao.
I am here to talk to you today about the death of Romeo and Juliet, and who is to blame for the scandalous death the suspects are Friar Lawrence or Juliet’s nurse. I believe it is Friar Lawrence to blame and I will explain why he is to blame for their deaths throughout this speech. Firstly Friar Lawrence had given Juliet a poison only to stimulate an extreme coma and, to make her breathing and heartbeat slow down. This was chosen to be done therefore a heartbeat can’t be detected but on the other hand Friar Lawrence acted thoughtless, selfish and shockingly. This was a risk that he had given Juliet the sleep like death poison that he had taken a risk.
• “It is the element within Tibetan Buddhism of magic and the supernatural, so remote from the original teachings and practices of Buddhism that has led to its designation as Lamaism, as if it were a separate religion.” (Lieberman, 2003) Conclusions concerning points of agreement and disagreement between Buddhism and Hinduism • Both Buddhism and Hinduism believe in reincarnation and salvation as the highest goal. • Buddhism is in opposition of the Hinduism Brahmanical religion. Brahmanism practices the value of sacrifice. • Hinduism & Buddhism have considerable influence in their practices and ideals, both strive for ultimate liberation and the correspondence of spirituality of renunciation. (Schmidt,2007) • Hinduism believes in Gods and Buddhism does not believe in Gods.
Additionally, both believe in the spiritual practices such as meditation, yoga, concentration, and cultivation of states of mind, called mindfulness. While Hinduism and Buddhism share similarities, they also celebrate differences; Hinduism is not founded by any particular prophet and Buddhism was founded by Buddha and Buddhists do not believe in the existence of souls like Hindus, neither do they believe in the sacred texts of the Vedas or any other Hindu scripture. Refuge in the Buddha, the Sangha and Dhamma are the three fundamental requirements of the eight fold path while Hinduism offers many choices to its followers for
Hindu’s do not feel as sure about being able to break the cycle. - In order to break the chain of desire a Buddhist must give up ass sensuous pleasures, evil, sorrow and joy. ⃰ There is intense meditation that is to be followed and also a list of religious principles. ⃰ The meditation that is done is not a prayer to God but a prayer of self discipline. ⃰ It’s a focus to get the life force in line.
Now the Christian worldview is Theism which belief is that God exist. As far as the origin is that they where in two differnet location one being in northern India and the other was in the middle east. The Identity is that Buddhism believe in the state of nirvana and the Christian worldview believe that there is a heaven and a hell and depending on how you did on earth depend on where you will go when you past. Now for Buddhism is to end the cycle of reincarnation and with the Christian worldview is to do right by God and get to heaven when you leave this earth. The Moral is that Buddhism is that everything is like god and god is everything.
Like the Samamas, Buddha’s followers escape from reality without really connecting to it as they lose themselves in meditation. They study Buddha’s knowledge instead of discovering their own. “The teachers which you have heard… is not my opinion, and it’s goal is not to explain the world to those who are thirsty for knowledge. Its goal is quite different; its goal is salvation from suffering. That is what Gotama teaches, nothing else (Hesse 27).
Since the letter did not get to Romeo, he fled to Verona to see his beloved lying in the tomb. He thought she was dead so he drank a powerful poison to kill himself. In addition to Friar Lawrence’s poor choices, he cause Juliet’s death. Friar Lawrence is responsible for Juliet’s death. He left Juliet vulnerable in the tomb.
He and his followers revolted against the animal-sacrifice of the Hindu priests. Buddha preached non-violence until his death. Since then the Buddhists have been preaching this faith. Ashok was violent in his youth. But the horror of the Kalinga war brought about a change in his heart.
What makes you not a Buddhist The Title of Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse’s book is “What makes you not a Buddhist”, but in reality he addresses those things which make one a Buddhist. He starts off by examining how many people, without even realizing it, accept the beliefs that qualify one to have the name. He boils down Buddhist beliefs to the four seals of Buddhism. Those four seals are: all compounded phenomena are impermanent, all emotions are pain, all things have no inherent existence, and enlightenment is beyond concepts. Throughout the book, Khyentse addresses these four facets necessary for the path to enlightenment, but he is constantly boiling them all down into one single main point, which is that all compounded phenomena are without inherent nature, are interdependent, and impermanent.
