Buddhism originated over 2,500 years ago in India when Siddhartha Gotama achieved enlightenment and insight into the nature of suffering. The core teachings of Buddhism are the Four Noble Truths, which are that life involves suffering, suffering is caused by craving and aversion, suffering can be overcome, and the Noble Eightfold Path leads to the end of suffering. Buddhism teaches that wisdom and compassion are the keys to overcoming suffering and finding true happiness. It is a tolerant belief system that does not claim any religion is wrong.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

1.
2. Buddhism is a religion to about 300
million people around the world. The
word comes from 'budhi', 'to
awaken'. It has its origins about
2,500 years ago when Siddhartha
Gotama, known as the Buddha, was
himself awakened (enlightened) at
the age of 35.
What is Buddhism?
3. How Can Buddhism Help Me?
Buddhism explains a purpose to life, it
explains apparent injustice and
inequality around the world, and it
provides a code of practice or way of
life that leads to true happiness.
4. Buddhism is becoming popular in western
countries for a number of reasons. The first
good reason is Buddhism has answers to
many of the problems in modern materialistic
societies. It also includes (for those who are
interested) a deep understanding of the human
mind (and natural therapies) which prominent
psychologists around the world are now
discovering to be both very advanced and
effective.
Why is Buddhism Becoming Popular?
5. Who Was the Buddha?
Siddhata Gotama was born into a royal family in
northen India, in 563 BC. At 29, he realised that wealth
and luxury did not guarantee happiness, so he explored
the different teachings religions and philosophies of the
day, to find the key to human happiness. After six years
of study and meditation he finally found 'the middle
path‘ and was enlightened. After enlightenment, the
Buddha spent the rest of his life teaching the principles
of Buddhism - called the Dhamma, or Truth - until his
death at the age of 80.
6. Was the Buddha a God?
He was not, nor did he claim to be. He was a
man who taught a path to enlightenment from
his own experience.
7. Do Buddhists Worship Idols?
Buddhists sometimes pay respect to images of
the Buddha, not in worship, nor to ask for
favors. A statue of the Buddha with hands
rested gently in its lap and a compassionate
smile reminds us to strive to develop peace and
love within ourselves. Bowing to the statue is
an expression of gratitude for the teaching.
8. Why are so Many Buddhist Counties Poor?
One of the Buddhist teachings is that wealth
does not guarantee happiness and also wealth is
impermanent. The people of every country
suffer whether rich or poor, but those who
understand Buddhist teachings can find true
happiness.
9. Are There Different Types of Buddhism?
There are many different types of Buddhism,
because the emphasis changes from country to
county due to customs and culture. What
does not vary is the essence of the teaching -
the Dhamma or truth.
10. Are Other Religions Wrong?
Buddhism is also a belief system which is tolerant of all
other beliefs or religions. Buddhism agrees with the
moral teachings of other religions but Buddhism goes
further by providing a long term purpose within our
existence, through wisdom and true understanding. Real
Buddhism is very tolerant and not concerned with labels
like 'Christian', Moslem','Hindu' or 'Buddhist'; that's why
there have never been any wars fought in the name of
Buddhism. That is also why Buddhists do not preach and
try to convert, only explain if an explanation is sought.
11. Is Buddhism Scientific?
Science is knowledge which can be made into a
system, which depends upon seeing and testing
facts and stating general natural laws. The core of
Buddhism fit into this definition, because the
Four Noble truths (see below) can be tested and
proven by anyone in fact the Buddha himself
asked his followers to test the teaching rather than
accept his word as true Buddhism depends more
on understanding than faith.
12. What did the Buddha Teach?
The Buddha taught many things, but the basic
concepts in Buddhism can be summed up by
the Four Noble Truths and the Noble
Eightfold Path.
13. What is the First Noble Truth?
The first truth is that life is suffering ie, life
includes pain, getting old disease and
ultimately death. We also endure psycho-
logical suffering like loneliness frustration,
fear, embarrassment, disappointment and
anger. This is an irrefutable fact that cannot be
denied. It is realistic rather than pessimistic
because pessimism is expecting things to be
bad. lnstead, Buddhism explains how suffer-
ing can be avoided and how we can be truly
happy.
14. What is the Second Noble Truth?
The second truth is that suffering is caused by craving
and aversion. We will suffer if we expect other
people to conform to our expectation, if we want
others to like us, if we do not get something we
want,etc. In other words, getting what you want does
not guarantee happiness. Rather than constantly
struggling to get what you want, try to modify
your wanting. Wanting deprives us of contentment
and happiness. A lifetime of wanting and craving and
especially the craving to continue to exist, creates a
powerful energy which causes the individual to be
born. So craving leads to physical suffering because it
causes us to be reborn.
15. What is the Third Noble Truth?
The third truth is that suffering can be
overcome and happiness can be attained that
true happiness and contentment are possible. lf
we give up useless caving and learn to live
each day at a time (not dwelling in the past or
the imagined future) then we can become happy
and free. We then have more time and energy to
help others. This is Nirvana.
16. What is the Fourth Noble
Truth?
The fourth truth is that the Noble 8-fold
Path is the path which leads to the end of
suffering.
17. What is the Noble 8-Fold Path?
In summary, the Noble 8-fold Path is being
moral (through what we say, do and our
livelihood), focusing the mind on being fully
aware of our thoughts and actions, and
developing wisdom by understanding the Four
Noble Truths and by developing compassion for
others.
18. What are the 5 Precepts?
The moral code within Buddhism is the
precepts, of which the main five are: 1) not to
take the life of anything living, 2) not to take
anything not freely given, 3) to abstain from
sexual misconduct and sensual overindulgence,
4) to refrain from untrue speech, 5) and to
avoid intoxication, that is, losing mindfulness.
19. What is Karma?
Karma is the law that every cause has an effect, ie,
our actions have results. This simple law explains a
number of things: inequality in the world, why some
are born handicapped and some gifted, why some
live only a short life. Karma underlines the
importance of all individuals being responsible for
their past and present actions.
How can we test the karmic effect of our actions?
The answer is summed up by looking at (1) the
intention behind the action, (2) effects of the action on
oneself, and (3) the effects on others.
20. What is Wisdom?
Buddhism teacher that wisdom should be developed
with compassion. At one extreme, you could be a
good-hearted fool and at the other extreme, you could
attain knowledge without any emotion. Buddhism
uses the middle path to develop both. The highest
wisdom is seeing that in reality, all phenomena are
incomplete, impermanent and do no constitute a fixed
entity. True wisdom is not simply believing what we
are told but instead experiencing and understanding
truth and reality. Wisdom requires an open, objective,
unbigoted mind.
The Buddhist path requires courage patience,
flexibility and intelligence.
21. What is Compassion?
Compassion includes qualities of sharing
readiness to give comfort sympathy, concern,
caring. In Buddhism, we can really understand
others, when we can really understand
ourselves, through wisdom.
22. How do I Become a Buddhist?
Buddhist teachings can be understood and tested by
anyone. Buddhism teaches that the solutions to our
problems are within ourselves not outside. The
Buddha asked all his followers not to take his word as
true, but rather to test the teachings for themselves. ln
this way, each person decides for themselves and
takes responsibility for their own actions and
understanding. This makes Buddhism less of a fixed
package of beliefs which is to be accepted in its
entirety, and more of a teaching which each person
learns and uses in their own way.
