...Buddhism Worksheet Write a 1- to 2-paragraph response for each of the following. 1. Explain the basic Buddhist teachings including the three marks of reality, the Four Noble Truths, and the Noble Eightfold Path. The three marks of reality are change, no permanent identity, and suffering. Buddha recommended that people look at life as it really is; life is full of impermanence, or constant change. Buddha also urged people to abandon egotism and a fixation on material objects. He denied the existence of the permanent identity of anything. The third characteristic of reality is suffering; meaning that life can never be fully satisfying because of inescapable change. It encompasses the whole range, from horrible suffering to everyday frustration. The Four Noble Truths are a linked chain of truths about life. They are as follows: 1. Suffering exists. 2. It has a cause. 3. It has an end. 4. There is a way to attain release from suffering; specifically, by following the Noble Eightfold Path, (Michael Molloy, 2010).

...of Phoenix Material Buddhism Worksheet Write a 1- to 2-paragraph response for each of the following. 1. Summarize the life of Buddha and the history of Buddhism. Siddhartha being born to luxury and wealth was able to gather vast knowledge of this type of lifestyle and certain meanings to this way of life and what they consider to be important in life. Once Siddhartha crossed the plain to what we would consider the opposite side of the spectrum, living among the common people and enduring their everyday stresses and suffering he was able to obtain a level of knowledge on what these people considered to be important in life. By immersing himself into different ways of life Siddhartha was able to obtain an overall perspective of what was missing not only in the life of the suffering but also what was missing in the lives of people with wealth. Through his quest for self-spiritual enlightenment and understanding he found something greater, an wakening in which he became The Buddha. From this point The Buddha utilized the remainder of his life teaching as many followers as he could the fundamentals of what he considered to be the path of enlightenment. The Buddha later began to obtain monks and nuns to help teach what would eventually come the Buddhist scripture. 2. Explain the basic Buddhist teachings including the three marks of reality, the Four Noble Truths, and the Noble Eightfold Path. Within Buddhism there are three marks...

...Buddhism worksheet 1. Explain the basic Buddhist teachings including the three marks of reality, the Four Noble Truths, and the Noble Eightfold Path. As it has it no one really knows the exact teaching of the Buddha. Most of his teachings where done orally past down from generation to generation. It was not until several hundred years after his death when the first versions of his teaching were written. However there are three marks of reality from his teaching, which are Change, No permanent identity and suffering. The mark of reality which is change states that nothing ever stays the same no matter how you look at things and think that they are the same they are constantly and gradually changing. The mark of reality which is no permanent identity states that Buddha believes that there is no such thing as consistency, which everything and everyone will forever be changing and are made up of parts that are also in constant change. And the last of the three marks are suffering also known as dukkha this marks states that no matter how you live your life the right way and do everything that you have to do there will always be dissatisfaction. This is because of the constant change in our lives. There are also Four Noble Truths to the Buddha teachings. Which are to begin with the first noble truth is “To Live and to Suffer” which means life is pain almost everything you go through in life involve some type of pain be it physical or mental.

...bow their heads and put their hands together, and use a string of beads to pray with. The earthlings seem to practice sacrifice openly and variably. They are not, perhaps, killing a goat, burning it, and attempting to give it to the deity, but instead, people are sacrificing personal actions. The man who used to steal does not steal anymore, hoping this sacrifice will please his god. So it is with the woman who used foul words heavily in speech. She now, however, is trying to give up (sacrifice) her obscene language because she feels like she cannot reap the benefits of being a servant of her god if her language is not pure. She does not want to grieve her higher being, so she sacrificed her abhorrent language. Sacrifice occurs in Buddhism when practicing Sutra and one adopts the practice of abstaining from sensual enjoyments. People in different parts of the world seem to all carry the same book, but from one continent to another, the books differ. In the Middle East, they carry a Quran. In Asia, their book is the Tripitaka. In North America, the book they carry is called Holy Bible. Some read it every day, some read only on Sundays, some only...

...As the main tenet of Buddhism is "suffering", "impermanence" and "no soul", many have the misconception that it has a pessimistic outlook and is devoid of any kind of aesthetic appreciation. Although this may at first appear to be very convincing, they are in fact far from the truth and are no more than mistaken generalizations. The primary aesthetic concept at the heart of Buddhist culture is the aspiration of leading a holy life. In Buddhism, beauty is not for beauty's sake. It has been viewed as an incentive for those who aspire to the holy life. The Buddhist concept of aesthetic is a beauty of things that are imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete. The cultivation of the right attitude to aesthetic is very important. A beautiful object itself is not goodness or rightness per se. Buddhism advocates aesthetic experience to a higher mode of living; it should be instrumental for moral development. Thus it is the distortion of perception that has to be rid of by perceiving objects as impermanent, unsatisfactory, repulsive and non-substantial. The world is full of beauty in a very spiritual and an abstract sense, but it is the man himself who defiles and destroys that beauty by trying to possess it. Thus Buddha's advice is to get detached from the apparent beauty of the external world that pleases the physical eyes, and to cultivate non-attachment to them, which would result in man himself realizing the beauty within his own mind. This is the moral or spiritual and inward beauty...

...Tamika Harrison Doug Dorman Comparative Religion March 20, 2013 Buddhism Buddhism, one of the fastest growing religions in the world, is also one of the oldest and has influenced many cultures of Asia and followers in the west (Alldritt 4). Buddhism is the fourth largest religion following Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism, and has over 376 million followers (Robinson). In Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Japan, Mongolia and Taiwan, Buddhism is the majority religion. China, which is primarily atheist, has many people that adhere to the Buddhist beliefs (Wangu, O’Brien, and Palmer 8). The percentage of Buddhism’s practice is quickly increasing in the United States population. Some estimate that up to 3 million are practicing in the US. But India, around 500 B.C.E., is where it all began and flourished (Alldritt 5). During this time, India was in a state of religious ferment which led people to experiment with meditation, deep breathing and to study with gurus (Molloy 125). Buddhism emphasizes on personal enlightenment as opposed to an eternal salvation from a higher being. The Buddha is not a god, but a human being that was acknowledged and respected for providing the knowledge on happiness within one self and concern for all living things (Robinson). In this report, I will discuss how Buddhism originated, its major forms, beliefs and teachings and the question of it being a true religion or philosophy of life. Siddhartha Gautama, known as the Buddha, or the awakened one,...

...The Quality of Transcendence: The Stupa Reliquary, Pakistan, Gandharan Region, 2nd century CE (Word count 2062) The Stupa Reliquary currently housed in the Alsdorf Collection at the Art Institute of Chicago was produced around the second-century AD in the Gandharan region, of what is now Pakistan. Relatively small in size (30.5 cm X 19.7 cm X 19.1 cm) compared to the imposing pieces surrounding it in the gallery, the Stupa Reliquary has a magnitude and importance about it that immediately draws one’s attention to it. The piece is the embodiment of regality, nobility, and holiness. It represents a form of art that seeks to depict the dimension of the transcendent. In other words, the Stupa Reliquary represents a type of view, in which earthly and material remains are oriented towards a transcendent and vertical plane of existence. That is to say that the piece, as a reliquary, functions as a housing of the remains of religious figures, yet because of the nature of religion itself, the relics contained within bear a sacred or transcendent element. This is an interesting piece, but it is difficult to understand without considering the background of the piece. This research...
