Lotus of the Good Law is also very significant to followers of Buddhism as it expresses salvation to Buddhism being universally attainable and lastly, the Tibetan Book of the Dead is also very substantial to adherents of Buddhism as it as it is means by which a Buddhist can determine their rebirth or Nirvana. The Tripitaka is a very significant text for adherents of Buddhism as it can as a guide to the teachings of the Buddha. Firstly, the Tripitaka is a sacred text split into three “baskets”; the Sutra Pitaka, Vinaya Pitaka and the Abhidharma Pitaka. The first basket, the Sutra Pitaka sets the rules and expectations of the Sangha. 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.
All religions encourage human beings to do good deeds, avoid evil deeds, cultivate a life of morality and compassion, and develop human dignity for both oneself and others as well as for family and society. Buddhism shares a lot with other religions and in this section we will compare a few things from the big three in religion Hinduism, Traditional Judaism, and Christianity. The first comparison I will make is with the meaning of birth in Hinduism, and Buddhism states that we are reborn from a previous life until we reach a level of nirvana (in Buddhism) or a oneness with Brahman (in Hinduism) they all state that after reaching their definition of the afterlife the cycle of death and rebirth will end and this is called samsara in all three religions. Another thing that they have in common is their own way to the truth this is where they go there different way. In Buddhism the followers follow the teachings of Buddha, the four noble truths, and the eightfold path, Traditional Judaism they reach the truth by studying the scriptural that spans more than five thousand volumes, whereas Hinduism the way to the truth is through spiritual disciplines like yoga allows one to achieve the enlightenment and the truth needed to reach the afterlife, and Christianity has the Bible that provides the oral laws and the authoritative interpretation for learning how to live one’s life to reach
Psychodynamic is the next theory that fits as well. This is associated more with childhood experiences and the unconscious mind of the individual. According to Grove (1994), “But are persons really responsible for their actions in the sense that they (1) assess the possible alternative courses of action available to them, (2) choose a particular course, and (3) construct a complex set of acts to achieve intended results” (p. 74). Our laws, our religions, and our emotional responses are established on the principles that these are factual intentions. When the events of others have an effect on our lives, and we recognize their reactions to be determined entirely by power beyond their limitations, there is then no cause for feelings of either anger or gratitude (Grove,
This is evident in Hinduism, the predominant religion of southern Asia. This religion is based on ‘Karma’ and the belief in ‘’daily morality’’. As Hindus believe that the karmic effect of all deeds shape the past, present and future lives for everybody, they are very careful when making decisions in all aspects of life which may have a negative impact on this. Hindu marriage ceremonies and customs are also affected by the religion. Hindu wedding ceremonies are traditionally conducted at least partially in ‘Sanskrit’, the language of most holy Hindu ceremonies.
When the outcome is important but uncontrollable, and at times of crisis. In these times, religion will be important in performing psychological functions for people. Parson sees religion as helping individuals cope with unforeseen events and uncontrollable outcomes. He also says that it creates and legitimates society’s central values and it is the primary source of meaning. Religion makes society’s central values sacred and this helps to promote value consensus and social stability.
This fold of the path is the way that Buddha wanted you to see the life, nature, and the world as it really is. It also explains why we have human suffering. This path explains a way to live a virtuous life, with the right view. If a follower can follow this fold then it will clear the path of uncertainty, misinterpretation, and diluted thinking (Allan 1). All of this can be found with a flexible, unlock mind and can be liberating.
Also identifying behaviors that contribute to failure, thus adding a second layer of understanding. The next theory that fits as well is psychodynamic that deals more with the unconscious mind and childhood experiences of the individual. “But are persons really responsible for their actions in the sense that they (1) assess the possible alternative courses of action available to them, (2) choose a particular course, and (3) construct a complex set of acts to achieve intended results? Our religions and our laws are based on the premise that these propositions are true. And so are our emotional responses.
hName Chapter 4 Practice Problems 11. List the five steps of hypothesis testing, and explain the procedure and logic of each. The five stages of theory testing are: 1.) Say again the query as a research theory and a null theory regarding the populations. This stage is necessary to explain the theory and recognize the populations which will be worked with all through the study.
Daoist stressed what their leader Laozi named, 'the way' and thought that with a restrained and balanced life one could ultimately reach a full understanding of and unity with the universe. Buddhists did not, they believed that throughout the meditation and improvement of one's inner balance a person could achieve a higher state of being for each lifetime reincarnated. For Daoists, balance and harmony with nature was simply a way of finding the path to ascension into a more ultimate ending of being with the world. Buddhists progressed constantly thought many lives improving, until 'Buddha' or meaning “awakened/enlightened one.” Daoism focused on a stipulation of “doing nothing,” which did not refer to inaction but instead to the natural flow which is continuous and perfectly synchronized and in balance. Buddhists achieved their end path after all suffering was endured and one has come in control of every action and thought, only then could the ultimate happiness and paradise in nirvana be reached.
According to Confucius, excellence comes partly from the cultivation of one’s virtues and intellect; so an education is mandatory. This education would involve developing skills in poetry, music, artistic appreciation, manners and religious ritual. Education was important because it transmitted the lessons of the past into the present. Confucius thought that education could show the way to wise and happy living. Also human beings should be full of respect and care.
