The document provides an overview of Buddhism and Hinduism. It describes that Buddhism was founded in the 6th-4th centuries BCE by Siddhartha Gautama and aims for enlightenment and peace. Hindusim is even older and believes the universe cycles through creation and destruction. Both religions emphasize concepts like samsara, karma, and dharma. Practices include meditation, yoga, and monks living simple lives focused on spiritual development.
Hinduism is a religion, or a way of life, found most notably in India and Nepal. Although Hinduism contains a broad range of philosophies, it is a family of linked religious cultures bound by shared concepts, recognisable rituals, cosmology, shared textual resources, pilgrimage to sacred sites and the questioning of authority.

Hinduism and Jainism
Janism – The universe is without beginning. Our lives are the cause of our own choices.
Hinduism – Believe in a cyclical notion of time. The universe is created over and over again. Many different beginning to the universe.
Janism – Becoming a god or a demon (liberation) is the end result of clearing away karmic accumulations from the soul.
Hinduism – There are currently 330 million gods called shaktas that are worshiped. Many of them ah different forms so they can be counted different times. There are 2 levels of the gods. The local goddesses tend to the everyday life of the people and the great goddess that have huge temples that are barred from the average local.
Janism – Being born as a human is the 2nd highest achievement besides liberation. During life one must do their best to clear away any impurities from this life and the life before. Human life is not more important than any other form of life.
Hinduism – Each person has a soul when we die if we did not reach Moksha then we are born again. The Karma we gained in our past life is carried over to the new life.
Janism – The better you live your life the better chance you will reach liberation upon death.
Hinduism - Good and evil are relative terms, you cannot have one without the other.
Janism – The highest form of salvation is liberation. Before that would be being born as a human. This will allow the person to perform good deeds to hopefully reach liberation
Hinduism - salvation is called Moksha. This is when an enlightened human being is freed from the cycle of life and death. There are 4 ways this is done. 1. Way of action. The individual must perform certain religious ceremonies without any type of personal gain
2. Way of Knowledge. The individual must have a complete understanding of the universe.
3. Way of devotion. Reached through acts of worship, based upon the love for a god.
4. The royal road. meditation and yoga techniques
Janism – The soul wonders endless transporting to another form upon death.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. What is Buddhism?
Founded sometime between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE.
Hard to be exact with dates a long time ago
Few people could read, which means few people could write down
what was happening.
Founded by Siddhartha Gautama, a high Brahmin caste
Prince, son of a King
The goal is to reach enlightenment, or a state of awakening
where you can understand and be at peace with everything.
4. Creation of the World
Buddhists take no position on how the world was created.
“We do not know HOW or WHEN or WHY it happened, but the
world is here and so are we.”
That’s a good thing.
In short, Buddhists have no opinion about how the world was
created!
Focus your attentions on the present since you cannot do
anything but worry over the past.
5.
6. So how did it come around?
Siddhartha’s father wanted him
to be King
Banned him from leaving
the palace grounds.
29 years old, ventured outside
Witnessed the “Four Sights”
Old man, sick man, corpse,
and a priest at peace with
the world.
Realized the misery of the
world and of the poor
people in the lower castes.
7. The Journey Begins
The Prince decides he needs
to find the answers to life’s
sufferings.
Sets out on a journey.
Explores monasteries that
monks help others, meditate,
fast (starve themselves), pray,
and take no wives… but found
no answers to the sufferings of
the world.
This is a painting of the Buddha
leaving for his journey! There
he goes!
9. Enlightenment at Last
Comes to the realization that
sufferings are caused by the
ups and downs of life.
Through meditation and
concentration, we can escape
from these emotions and be
at total peace.
Sat down under the Bodhi
Tree and meditated; taught
many others.
After a life of peace and
teaching, died at the age of
80.
12. Practices and Beliefs
Believe in samsara, or the cycle of death and rebirth
1 of 6 forms: Living in hell, hungry ghost, animals, human, lower god,
supreme god.
Enlightenment brings about release from this cycle.
Karma is a major force in the universe that gives us what we earn
in this life or the next.
The Four Noble Truths: How to stop the suffering of the world.
Noble Eightfold Path: The last of the Four Noble Truths, tells us
how to live at peace and change our ways of thinking.
14. Four Noble Truths
1) dukka: Suffering of this world.
2) origin of dukka: Our human cravings and desires
Be they lust, jealously, envy, pride, stubborness, anger.
3) cessation of dukka: giving up our cravings for things that
can cause suffering
4) path to the cessation of dukka: this is the goal of
Buddhism, and the ways of living and thinking that will lead us
from desire and suffering.
15. Hey! Buddha be waving at us!!!
Notice the symbol?
The swastika of
Nazi Germany was
originally a
Hindu/Buddhist
symbol for good
fortune and peace.
Hitler used it
because it
symbolized the
Aryan race (the
people who
conquered India).
16. Monks!!!
Many people follow the practice
of being a Buddhist Monk!
Live on the charity of others.
Meditate all day and night
Some never speak
Wear the simplest of clothes.
Practice martial arts for
discipline, exercise, and
meditation.
Chanting
“OM”
17. Monks are tougher than you or I
Many practice Martial Arts as a
form of meditation.
Focusing mind and body to
perform incredible feats.
Breaking blocks, logs, and
other assorted building
materials.
Never actually used in combat
Only use for meditation
Monks are nonviolent
Can’t harm living things
20. Cool stuff
Meditation is concentration and chanting to relax the body,
release your mind, find enlightenment.
Through meditation, a great many things are possible.
Pain can be completely
forgotten
Let’s see how this is possible…
21. Tibetan Monks
Peaceful, nonviolent Buddhist monks.
Lived for thousands of years in northern Vietnam
Abide by a strict and simple Buddhist code of life:
Meditate for up to 8 hours a day
Live by begging for support from others, and eat only what they can afford to
by from begging.
Most do not speak (sounds can upset our inner peace)
Then war breaks out inside their country (Vietnam War)
Buddhist monks are nonviolent so they protest in other ways.
The next slide may be upsetting…
24. According to Hinduism, the universe was never actually created
but has always been around. It has been created and
destroyed multiple times, we are in the 4th stage now.
There is a constant building and destroying that is natural to our
universe, so everything is constantly being created and
destroyed by opposite forces.
Love, hate
Hot, cold
Chocolate, Peanut Butter
Kobe, LeBron
Chicken McNuggets or Fish McBites
In the Beginning…
26. The supreme creator God in Hinduism is Brahman, and TECHNICALLY
there is only 1 god that shows itself in a million different ways.
From Brahman we get everything, both the good and the bad, but there
are gods that are in charge or every aspect of life and death. It is
everything at once, including the other gods.
Like in Christianity, there is a holy trinity:
Christianity has the Father (God), Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit.
Hinduism has Brahman (supreme creator), Vishnu (the one who brings
balance to the universe), and Shiva (the destroyer).
The Concept(s) of God(s)
27. Brahman- the Creator• Always depicted as
having many heads
• The other heads are to
remind us that Brahman
is the eternal source of
everything, including
other gods.
• Brahman is everything,
never just one thing.
• Also, since Brahman is
the highest of creation,
the highest level of the
caste system is also
called Brahmin.
28. Vishnu- The Protector Brahman, Vishnu, Shiva
One of the many gods, but
one of the top 3 in importance.
Vishnu appears on Earth to
eradicate evil and restore
dharma, or “balance to the
universe”
Many tales of Vishnu inspiring
others and destroying bad
people.
Many arms and hands to
represent his many tasks for
balance, order, peace,
stability.
29. Shiva
The Destroyer
The universe is both good
and bad.
There can be no heroes
without villains.
Destruction is a natural and
necessary thing.
Slayer of demons
30. Avatars: The gods can all take a great many forms when they come to earth.
Samsara: Cycle of rebirth that all livings things follow.
Moksha: Release from the cycle of samsara after living a perfect life in your
position.
Dharma: Universal balance and order, brought about by doing your duty or
role based on your station in life. In short, it is your purpose in life.
Karma: Universal system of reward and punishment. Positive deeds will see
you rewarded, bad deeds will see you punished in this life or the next.
Important Concepts
31. Reincarnation
We have been born hundreds of times
in many different forms.
If we live according to our dharma, or
purpose, we can become promoted in
the next life.
If we do well for multiple lives, we
receive moksha, or release from this
endless cycle and go join the gods.
The rebirth cycle is seen as infinite and
tiring, spirits only find peace and rest in
moksha.
33. Samsara and Caste
Caste- social ranking in life
Gives every person their dharma,
or purpose.
Every level has a specific role in
the universe.
Lower castes are being punished
for past deeds, higher castes are
being rewarded.
No movement up or down within
your lifetime, only when you are
reincarnated.
34. Karma
The universal concept of right
and wrong, reward and
punishment.
The universe is always
watching and judging how well
you perform your dharma and
how you interact with others,
and it is keeping score.
Good deeds result in rewards
(maybe you found $20 on the
floor, maybe you are the only
person in your family not to
get sick)
Bad deeds results in
consequences (getting sick,
car breaking down, losing
money, break-up)
Horrible things may result in
getting reborn in a lower
caste, or maybe into a
tapeworm, or just a rock!!!
36. Kali Yuga- The End of All Things
Starts when castes are
overthrown and “alien kings”
rule in India.
Brahman returns to earth as
Kali Yuga, the final destroyer
God, devouring all.
Vishnu will merge with the
sun, causing a great drought
that will evaporate all water on
earth.
Shiva will cause thousands of
years of rain.
Earth will be destroyed, so
Brahman will make a new
earth and start the 5th cycle.
Kali Yuga: I said NO PICKLES!!
GROAR!!!!
37. Yoga
Practice of stretching and
strength training for
meditation.
Many different positions,
chants, methods.
Started as a way of worship
and meditation in Hinduism.
