In this way, the Tripitaka is very significant to adherents of Buddhism as it provides a clear set of expectations of the adherent of the religion as well as providing a guide to the teachings of Buddha. An example of this can be seen through a quote of the text (see appendix A), where it explains how Tanha is the cause of Dukkha. Many similar explanations are seen throughout the Tripitaka. The Tripitaka is also a very significant text as it represents the connection between the present monks and adherents of Buddhism to those of the past. This is significant to adherents of the religion as the text ensuring that the essence and facts of Buddhism do not alter over time, as they are clearly written within the Tripitaka.
Redeemed by Love: Pure Land Buddhism in “The Priest and His Love” “Religious experience and reflection have always engendered poetry and literature, prompting the imagination and moving beyond speculative thought” (Detweiler & Jasper, xi). Pure Land Buddhism plays a key role in Yukio Mishima’s “The Priest and His Love.” Though polar opposites in the way they live and view life, the Great Priest and his love, the Great Imperial Concubine, both hope to be reborn into The Pure Land (Jodo). The Pure Land Buddhism in “The Priest and His Love” displays the redemptive power of love shown to followers of Amida. At the beginning of the story, the Great Priest of Shiga is “a man of the most eminent virtue”: so ascetic that he is completely unattached to the material (Floating) world, and so righteous that he is “completely devoid of conceit”— an “effect of his own eminent virtue.” This present world is a “sad and evanescent dream” to the Great Priest, less real than the Pure Land that he lives in during his nightly reveries (Anderson 817). Here the Great Priest evinces his faith by “[d]well[ing] in imagination on the joys of paradise” (Eliot 383).

Dr. Naeger would have been the type of person to truly care about his students and help them however he could. He would have made his students feel successful, smart, and valued. He may have even been a father type figure to some. The woman bringing the flower to place in his lapel is a testament to the love that people still feel for this not to be forgotten mentor. Dr. Naeger is proof that you don’t have to be perfect to be remembered and honored.
People, places and things are the nouns, substance, value and quality are the adjectives, spirituality and God are the verb action these particular subjects are just a few of the things from which happiness is produced. I think Mr. Powell gave answer of interest which stem from being in the midst of a few difficult trials which in returns made him the person that he describes himself to be, one whom has grown to be content with circumstance. This assignment has expanded my outlook on lots of things especially the importance of our topic, happiness. This topic is more than needed in every human being’s life as a whole. Once again being a spiritual woman I must add that the word of God says that if we acknowledge God in all of our ways he shall direct our paths.
Bridget O’Connor Anthropology of Religion 3348 1.) Chung Mei Buddhist Temple in Stafford, Texas One of the most wide practicing religions in the world, Buddhism has been offering tips to blissful enlightenment for centuries. Those seeking a peaceful lifestyle without ignorance, jealousy and anger can find themselves welcomed at Chung Mei Buddhist Temple, which luckily for me is just a few short minutes from my house. Unfortunately I suffer from social anxiety and found myself contemplating many negative outcomes before I even stepped foot into the Temple – what if they judge me, think I’m stupid, turn me away, etc.?
