Five Jewels of Wisdom - David Barret-MurrerGeorge Grayson
The document discusses the five jewels of wisdom, which are teachings that can advance one spiritually without requiring a particular belief system. The five jewels are: 1) awareness of karma, 2) harmlessness, 3) cessation of selfish desire, 4) sustained loving attitude, and 5) harmony of freedom. It focuses on the first jewel of karma, explaining that every thought, word, and deed will return to us through cause and effect. Understanding and living with an awareness of karma allows one to choose between suffering and freedom from suffering.
Buddhism is based on the Four Noble Truths which state that suffering exists, it has a cause, it can end, and following the Eightfold Path will end it. The Eightfold Path consists of right understanding, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness, and concentration. Karma refers to good or bad actions that bring future happiness or unhappiness. The ultimate goal is to achieve Nirvana and be freed from reincarnation.
This document summarizes a discussion between three Buddhist scholars on the topic of karma - what it is, how it works, and its role in Buddhism. Some key points:
- Karma is the principle of cause and effect where intentional actions have consequences. It is carried from moment to moment and lifetime to lifetime by the continuum of consciousness.
- When rebirth occurs, the stream of consciousness transfers all accumulated karma, experiences, and latent tendencies to a new existence. Ignorance and craving perpetuate rebirth.
- While Westerners new to Buddhism may be skeptical of karma and rebirth, teachers recommend focusing first on teachings that can be verified through experience, like ethics and meditation, to build trust before
This document discusses the Buddhist concept of kamma (volitional action) and how it relates to the laws of motion. It explains that kamma is governed by natural laws of action and reaction, like Newton's three laws of motion. Meditation practices like metta bhavana (loving-kindness meditation) can help decelerate come factors and accelerate become factors, allowing wishes to be realized sooner through the universal law of attraction. By understanding the dependent nature of phenomena and laws of motion, we can better comprehend how kamma operates to achieve balance.
What Happens When We Die According To BuddhismOH TEIK BIN
When a person dies according to Buddhism, the mind that has been conditioned in this life establishes itself in a new being and takes on a new personality shaped by its circumstances. This cycle of rebirth continues until one reaches Nirvana. Where one is reborn depends on their karma - their good and bad actions. Those who acted with kindness and love may be reborn in pleasant realms like the human world or heaven, while those who acted otherwise could be reborn as animals. Scientific studies of people who remember past lives provide some evidence for the Buddhist idea of rebirth.

The doctrine-of-karma-and-transmigration-in-jainismjainacharya
The doctrine of karma and transmigration is one of the fundamental doctrines in Jainism. It explains the causes of suffering and happiness through a moral law of causality - one experiences the effects or fruits of one's past actions. Karma conditions the cycle of rebirth and influences one's state in each life. In Jainism, karma refers to tiny, invisible particles that attach to the soul through actions, obscuring its inherent qualities. Good actions lead to good karma and bad actions lead to bad karma. The karma doctrine is central to Jainism as karma is the cause of bondage, and liberation is achieved by destroying all karmic particles through ascetic practices. Karmas are classified based on their nature

The document discusses the Buddhist concept of karma. It states that in Buddhism, karma refers to intentional actions through body, speech and mind that have moral or ethical consequences. Karma is distinguished from the results or fruits of actions. When motivated actions meet the right conditions, they will sprout results either good or bad, continuing the cycle of rebirth or potentially leading to liberation. The chief cause of karma is the mind, and karma is not something stored but depends on mind and matter to manifest at the right time.
This document outlines Thomas Aquinas's natural law theory, which holds that morality can be determined through human reason. The natural law serves as the objective standard for determining the morality of human actions based on their compliance with or derivation from basic goods like life and society. While intentions or consequences cannot justify intrinsically immoral acts, the principle of double effect provides some exceptions. Positive law should be derived from and consistent with the natural law.
Karma: (What Goes Around, Comes Around), It is commonly understood as an entire cycle of Cause and Effect as described in the philosophies of a number of religions such as Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism,coincidence is in reality an illusion, Karma is actually a very complex concept since you can never tell which cause is responsible for which effect.
The document discusses several topics related to Christian responses to special social and moral issues including sexuality, abortion, euthanasia, and birth regulation. It provides context on each topic from theological and philosophical perspectives. For sexuality, it discusses the public and private aspects and purposes. For abortion, it defines and distinguishes between spontaneous and induced abortion and discusses arguments for and against abortion. For euthanasia, it defines types and discusses arguments for and against as well as the Church's perspective of it being morally unacceptable. For birth regulation, it discusses natural versus artificial methods.
Karma is a core concept in Hinduism and other Indian religions that suggests good or bad deeds can influence future outcomes through reincarnation. According to karma, good actions lead to beneficial effects while bad actions lead to harmful effects, either in this life or a future one. The effects are not necessarily immediate, and karma is more concerned with moral intentions rather than just actions and consequences. Karma is connected to the concept of reincarnation, in which the soul is reborn in a new body based on the depletion of past karmas.

The document discusses the concepts of reincarnation and karma in Hinduism. It explains that Hindu philosophy views the human as composed of two principles - the eternal spiritual soul (atman) and the temporary material body. Upon death, the atman is reborn in a new body, determined by its karma from past lives. This continuous cycle of birth, death and rebirth, governed by the law of karma, is known as samsara. The goal is to achieve moksha or liberation from this cycle through fulfilling one's dharma and reaching spiritual perfection.
The document discusses Christian morality and its basic concepts. It defines morality both descriptively as existing codes of conduct in societies, and normatively as universal standards based on reason. Descriptive morality only applies locally while normative morality is universal. Morality examines the object, circumstances, and intentions of human acts, which require will and knowledge, rather than involuntary acts of man. Key norms that govern conduct are eternal, natural, and positive laws, as well as an individual's conscience, which can be correct, false, scrupulous, lax, certain, or doubtful depending on its judgments.
This document provides an overview of Buddhist ethics from a philosophical perspective. It discusses:
1) How Buddhist ethics involves both analytical study of concepts as well as positive recommendations for how to live in order to attain the highest good.
2) How Buddhist ethics is concerned with both individual attainment of the highest good as well as social dimensions like the well-being of others.
3) How questions of ethics are interrelated with questions about the nature of reality and human nature - for example, the possibility of free will and karma impact whether ethical recommendations make sense.
1. The document discusses cognitive dissonance theory and how it relates to substance abuse behaviors. Cognitive dissonance theory proposes that people seek consistency between their beliefs and behaviors, and will try to reduce discomfort caused by inconsistency.
2. The literature review summarizes several studies that applied cognitive dissonance theory to understand substance abuse behaviors. One study found pregnant smokers justified smoking by claiming it was safe in certain trimesters or that reducing cigarettes was sufficient. Another found students justified plagiarism to reduce discomfort from engaging in that behavior.
3. The purpose of the document is to further examine cognitive dissonance theory and how it helps explain why people continue substance abuse behaviors even while knowing the risks, by
HSEEP offers stakeholders with the necessary preparedness and opportunities to craft planning, validating and examining capabilities together with the areas that are worth improvement. By considering the National Preparedness Goal, the organization offer support in improving the national capacity of coming up with a capability to deal with a real challenge. Evaluation of exercises is also carried out meeting the strengths, improvement areas and corrective actions. Since there are numerous varieties of incidents, the disaster managers and organization leaders should make prior preparations to mitigate the impending risks. This paper will discuss the various principles of disaster management as asserted by HSEEP (Martinez et al, 2019)
In Thailand, the only significant control over lay sexuality as prescribed by Thai Buddhism lies in the Third Precept which advocates against sexual misconduct. It should be stated from the outset that this paper does not make a moral judgement on whether premarital sex is right or wrong. Instead the discussion is framed within the larger context of HIV/AIDS among teenagers, where consensual sex between peers is pushing up the rate of infection among adolescents.

Philosophy 222: Ethics-Introduction
Ethics and Critical Thinking
Meta Ethics- questions about the nature and concepts of
ethics.
Is Ethics based on reason or emotions/ feelings/
intuitions?
Considerations for Ethical Evaluations
The first step in any argument [or in critical thinking] is
to be clear on exactly what is at issue, exactly what the
conclusion is.
Red Herring Fallacy- When an arguer uses an
irrelevant point to support their conclusion
Considerations for Ethical Evaluations
Ad Hominem Fallacy- an attack on the person, as the source
of the argument.
If someone gives an argument, we must evaluate the
argument on its own merits, not the merits of the
person giving the argument.
Considerations for Ethical Evaluations
Moral Authority- someone whose life appears to be morally
exemplary, and therefore seemingly fit to give advice on
moral and ethical conduct.
Examples of Moral Authority
Mark Furman
Lost Moral Authority in O.J. Simpson trial because of his
reputation as a racist…
Example of Moral Authority
Rosa Parks
Exemplar of true moral authority. She demonstrated courage
and exercised integrity when she unilaterally protested an
evil and unjust system, although supported by local and
federal laws.
Considerations for Ethical Evaluations
The Principle of Charity and the Strawman Fallacy
Principle of Charity- The principle of being charitable or
generous toward the positions and arguments we oppose.

Strawman Fallacy- when someone distorts or
misrepresents a position in order to make it easier to
attack
Considerations for Ethical Evaluations
Examples: Abortion-Pro-life argument
* It is obvious that my opponent does not value the human
life of infant babies.
*Well now that I think about it, abortion is an excellent
way to control overpopulation.

Natural Morality Versus Transcendent Morality
Natural morality- position that ideas concerning morality
and “how to live the good life” come from within our

Transcendent Morality- position that ideas concerning
morality and “how to live the good life” come from without

God’s Commandments and Ethics
Theological Voluntarism is named so because it makes
ethical principles dependent on what God wills. “If God

God’s Commandments and Ethics
(Cont.)
Theological Voluntarism- view that “… moral principles are
set by God, God doesn’t change and doesn’t make exceptions,
so God’s commandments are fixed and eternal and absolute.
What is right is whatever God Commands, or whatever God
chooses. God does not condemn murder because murder is
wrong; rather, murder is wrong because Go ...
This essay analyzes the influence of B.R. Ambedkar on three poems by Namdeo Dhasal. Ambedkar was a critical influence as he fought against caste discrimination and championed equality. Dhasal's poem "Equality for All" echoes Ambedkar's views, calling for an end to the caste system. Another poem critiques Hindu scriptures that upheld casteism. A third poem depicts Ambedkar as a guiding figure who awakened Dalits to their rights. Overall, Ambedkar's teachings and activism against caste oppression were a strong inspiration for Dhasal's own poetry addressing Dalit issues and advocating for equality and social justice.
Kamma refers to intentional actions through body, speech, and mind that have moral or immoral consequences. Every action has a corresponding reaction or result. Ignorance and craving are the root causes of kamma. Kamma is not fatalistic, as one can divert the course of their kamma through effort. The five niyamas describe natural laws governing physical and mental phenomena. One is responsible for one's kamma and circumstances, but these can also be transcended by eliminating craving and ignorance.

When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

2. Although many Westerners are familiar with popularized
definitions of Karma, most remain ignorant of its basic tenets. A
spiritual law that governs the human condition, Karma,
translated, means “action.” As opposed to fate, which implies a
passive acceptance by humans, the Law of Karma represents a
dynamic process of action and reaction.
3. In the moral sphere, Karma teaches that similar actions lead to
similar results. Wholesome, life-affirming actions yield
wholesome fruit. Unwholesome actions yield painful fruit. The
Buddha taught, however, that the relationship between the action
and its fruit may take a long time to appear.
4. Unwholesome actions can occur in three realms: mind, body, and
speech; they include killing, gossip, sexual misconduct, and
anger. The fruit of unwholesome actions can include
unhappiness in this life and rebirth into lower realms of
suffering. Wholesome actions yield positive fruit, such as wealth,
wisdom, and happiness. The intention of the person at the time
of the action determines the effect of the Karma.
5. A patient study of Karma, its philosophy, and tenets can lead to
more understanding of this teaching.
