My Mandala represents a couple of things. It represents what life means to me, my beliefs, hopes, dreams, and things I love in a couple of squiggles. As seen throughout the whole mandala, everything is inside music notes. To me the world revolves around music, music is everywhere. Music is in cultures, games, religion, movies, phones, and anywhere we go. In my life music is very important. The type of music I listen to signifies how I feel like, if I’m feeling down, I’ll listen to a slow tuned song but if I feel motivated and excited I’ll listen to something a little more upbeat and fast. Inside the notes of my mandala there is certain drawings that represents my life. The music symbols represent how I feel about music and much it means to me. It reminds me what I want in life with all those singers and rappers showing of what they have. They also help me call down at times when I’m not feeling so well, or help me stay motivated when I know I need to do something or simply help me stay focus in what I’m doing whether it be homework, playing or brainstorming music helps me stay focused …show more content…
They’ve helped me learn how to learn from my mistakes, never quite, that there is always a second chance and that I can do anything I put my heart and mind to. Sport have help me clear my mind when I’m stressing or worrying about something. They help me get over of the bad times and help me take out my anger in

The Essay About Me

...You’re Name Is Jessica). Now My Assignment was draw some signs that represent me, what’s important to me.... And to write what they mean to me. So I did the first part and I would like to point out that it turned out semi-good. :) So Now I'm doing this part (Or have done since if you’re reading this it'll probably already be done..... So yeah... ONWARDS!!!!!!!!!) Okay so my first symbol was some hands. What In The world could hands mean??? It could mean love or Family but to me it means friendship. What??? How??? Well if the person Is your true friend they will forever hold on. They would go through the ups and every-single-one of the downs just to stay your friend. That's why I drew hands, because hands are forever holding on to something... anything just to hold on. But The Next Symbol Is A Little Confusing I Think. It's a broken heart. That Means That I've been heartbroken before right? Nope. Never. Well there was this one time with this one kid but that was so long ago I don't even remember kids name (actually I Do but Whatever!) But actually the broken heart means Love. Yeah... Told You confusing. It's supposed to say all the things that you love will sometimes hurt you. And sometimes you just have to patch it up and move on! The Sun. That should be an easy one right? It means bright right??? Nope it's supposed to represent a smile. Because I have a friend that will rarely smile but when he does its lights up the room (Or the sky... hey like the sun XP) It is always nice...

Prayer

...during the time of Padmasambhava in Tibet and later rediscovered by Karma Lingpa (14th century) who brought it forth from its place of concealment and copied it down on reams of gold. It is simply known as "The Syllable by Syllable Commentary Explaining the Benefits and Advantages of the Vajra Guru Mantra." It begins with an invocation and then goes into a dialog between Yeshe Tsogyal, the spiritual consort of Padmasambhava. and Padmasambhava himself. And so, Yeshe Tsogyal begins: I the woman Yeshe Tsogyal, having offered to you the inner and outer mandala on a vast scale, have the following request. O great teacher, Pema Jungne, you have been extremely kind to us, the Tibetan people, leaving for us a legacy that will benefit us now and in future lives. Your kindness is so great that we have never experienced anything like this before, nor will we ever experience the like in the future. In particular, you have given me the quintessential teachings for my practice, so that now, even though I am a humble person, I have no doubt that I will attain enlightenment. In the future, sentient beings will have very short attention spans and a great many things will clutter and occupy their minds. Their characters will be rough and difficult to tame. They will develop many wrong views towards the sacred Dharma. In particular, a time will come when people will cast dispersions on the Secret Mantra teaching of the unsurpassable levels of tantra. At that time, all sentient beings...

Hindusm Article

...What is Hinduism? It is the true culture of Indians in India. Many call it "A way of life." It is not an organized religion like Christianity or Islam. It has no founder. It has no Pope. It has no hierarchy. Just a lot of scriptures. In Hindu scriptures, you are actually studying about the history and culture of India, like in 66 books of the Holy Bible you are actually studying about the culture and history of the Jews. Hinduism and Judaism are mothers of all modern religions in the world. Buddhism, Sikhism and to some extent Jainism and Zoroastrianism came from Hinduism. Of course, Jainism existed during Rig Vedic Period. Statues of Rishabha, the first Thirthankara and founder of Jainism was found in the Mohenjadaro, Harappa excavations. Islam and Christianity came from Judaism. Judaism, Islam and Christianity have Abraham as the common father figure. All three have many common prophets. There is even mention about Jesus Christ many times in the Holy Koran. Coming back to Hinduism, C.S. Lewis, the great author and theologist wrote, finally it will come to two religions. Hinduism and Christianity. The first [Hinduism] will grow absorbing ideas and concepts from everywhere and later [Christianity] will keep away from everything that is foreign to it. What C.S. Lewis wrote is very true. Hinduism cannot be destroyed, even if we burn every Hindu scripture and kill every Hindu theologian on earth.

Carl Jung

...[pic] CARL JUNG   1875 - 1961   Dr. C. George Boeree   [pic] Anyone who wants to know the human psyche will learn next to nothing from experimental psychology.  He would be better advised to abandon exact science, put away his scholar's gown, bid farewell to his study, and wander with human heart throught the world.  There in the horrors of prisons, lunatic asylums and hospitals, in drab suburban pubs, in brothels and gambling-hells, in the salons of the elegant, the Stock Exchanges, socialist meetings, churches, revivalist gatherings and ecstatic sects, through love and hate, through the experience of passion in every form in his own body, he would reap richer stores of knowledge than text-books a foot thick could give him, and he will know how to doctor the sick with a real knowledge of the human soul. -- Carl Jung Freud said that the goal of therapy was to make the unconscious conscious. He certainly made that the goal of his work as a theorist. And yet he makes the unconscious sound very unpleasant, to say the least: It is a cauldron of seething desires, a bottomless pit of perverse and incestuous cravings, a burial ground for frightening experiences which nevertheless come back to haunt us. Frankly, it doesn't sound like anything I'd like to make conscious! A younger colleague of his, Carl Jung, was to make the exploration of this "inner space" his life's work. He went equipped with a background in Freudian theory, of course, and with an apparently inexhaustible...

Azim Premji

...Lessons for success shared by Azim Premji June 5, 2008 I just made a post on a lesson from the Infosys Chief Mentor, Shri. Narayana Murthy about . Here comes another email from Shri. Azim Premji, Chairman and CEO, Wipro where he shares about what he learned from gaining success. Dear Wiproite, My own successes and setbacks along the way have taught me some lessons. I wish to share them with you and hope you will find them useful. Lesson #1: Be careful to ask what you want. You may get it. What this means is that do not ask too little either of yourself or the others around you. What you ask is what you get. When I look back at the time when I joined Wipro, I was 21. If you ask me whether I thought that Wipro would grow so by someday, the honest answer is that I did not. But neither did I think it would not. We constantly stretched ourselves to higher and higher targets. Sometimes, it seemed possible, sometimes fanciful and sometimes plain insane. But we never stopped raising limits. And we got a lot more than what we bargained for. Lesson # 2: Respond, don’t react Always be aware of your emotions and learn to manage them. There is a huge difference between people who react impulsively and those who can disengage themselves and then respond at will. By choosing to respond differently, we can prevent another person from controlling our behaviour. I remember a small story that illustrates this well. There was once a newspaper vendor who had a rude Customer. Every morning...

Budhism

...------------------------------------------------- Ensō Zen art exemplifies the Zen ideals of simplicity and spontaneity, and most often takes the form of calligraphy and simple ink drawings. The Zen circle, a popular motif in Zen art, represents the entire universe in a single, perfect stroke. Although simple, images like this are difficult to paint successfully and thus must be done with a clear mind focused on the task. Abhaya Mudra (Gesture of Fearlessness) Abhaya in Sanskrit means fearlessness, and the abhaya mudra symbolizes protection, peace, and the dispelling of fear. The gesture is made with the right hand raised to shoulder height, arm bent, and palm facing outward. The gesture is an ancient one, demonstrating that the hand is empty of weapons and thus indicating friendship and peace. To western eyes, it looks like the gesture meaning "stop." In both cases, the gesture implies fearlessness before a potential enemy. In Buddhism, the gesture is a symbol of the fearlessness—and thus the spiritual power—of the Buddha or bodhisattva who makes it. According to Buddhist tradition, the historical Buddha made this gesture immediately after gaining enlightenment. And later, when the historical Buddha was about to be attacked by an angry elephant, he held up his hand in the fearlessness gesture and immediately calmed it. The gesture of fearlessness is is only seen on Buddhas or boddhisatvas and appears most commonly in standing images. In Thailand and Laos, the abhaya...

Social Business of Dr. Yunus

...Learning Report To: The Students of BBA & LLB Programme From: Muhammad Fazlur Rabb Tanvir Assistant Professor, School of Business, Metropolitan University, Sylhet. 10 October 2012 Social Business (Source: Yunus Talks on Social Business with British Council team, The Daily Star, Wednesday, 10 October 2012) Introduction: Social business, as the term is commonly used, was first defined by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Prof. Muhammad Yunus and is described in his books Creating a world without poverty—Social Business and the future of capitalism and Building Social Business—The new kind of capitalism that serves humanity's most pressing needs. A number of organizations with which he is involved actively promote and incubate social businesses. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_business) In Yunus' definition, a social business is a non-loss, non-dividend company designed to address a social objective within the highly regulated marketplace of today. It is distinct from a non-profit because the business should seek to generate a modest profit but this will be used to expand the company’s reach, improve the product or service or in other ways to subsidise the social mission. In fact a wider definition of social business is possible, including any business which has a social rather than financial objective. Prototype: In Yunus’ book Creating a World without Poverty—Social Business and the Future of Capitalism, two different types of social businesses are proposed: ...

Satisfyingly asymmetrical in their relation, they require us, in talking of one, to talk also of the other, just as they induce us to move as nimbly as possible between theoretical abstraction and experiential reality. But their separation is itself part of the mythological drama in current Indian thought, just as their mutual implication is the import of the same ironic smile that brings to an effective close any conversation one hears here about them. And so we take them in turn only, finally, to see them speaking to each other through the lives of acquaintances, informants, and fictional protagonists. Tradition: what is this nonwestern culture? It is a very western question to ask what is the Indian tradition, and finally we will shift to the more pertinent question of what Tradition in fact does.
