Outlook on Theravada Buddhist Ethics
Buddhism contains an excellent moral code, including one for the monks and another for the laity, but it is much more than an ordinary moral teaching. Morality (s´la) is only the preliminary stage and is a means to an end, but not an end in itself. Though absolutely essential, it alone does not lead to one’s Deliverance or perfect purity. It is only the first stage on the Path of Purity. Beyond morality is wisdom (pa——a). The base of Buddhism…...

Buddhism & Hellenism
History has proven time and time again humans’ tendency to achieve the ultimate power, the ultimate wealth, the ultimate glory. All “Great” civilizations and empires gained their name mainly because of their foreign relations and conquests. The imperialistic tactics of those civilizations often united different cultures, if not practiced by excessive force and shear fascistic practices. Gandhara is such an example, where Greco-Roman cultural elements merged with the Indian local culture. More specifically, Gandhara, placed in today’s Pakistan and Afghanistan,…...

An Overview of Anne Hutchinson’s Views on the Puritan Doctrine
Anne Hutchinson was a woman who held unorthodox views about the Puritan doctrine of predestination. She was very logical in her arguments, keeping the prosecutors from coming to a clear verdict until she spoke about her revelation with God.

These charges, although they may seem absurd today, were part…...

Gods and Goddesses of Hindu Mythology

All of these descriptions are valid; however, throughout this paper, mythology will be defined as follows: “...stories of anonymous origin, prevalent among primitive peoples and by them accepted as true, concerning supernatural beings…...

Puritan settlers proved to be both fearful of losing connection to their culture and intrigued by the stories of those who had been taken captive and returned to colonial civilization. These captivity narratives especially gained popularity with the literate, including those whom embraced a view that trials and conflicts were predetermined by God though Divine Providence. In Mary Rowlandson’s “The Narrative of the…...

It is true that God made his creation perfect, orderly, harmonious, beautiful and good; It is also true that God has created a finite and evolving world or in constant transformation.

A world in which creatures can move actively and freely towards perfection. This implies that numerous beings give way, in one way or another, to the…...
