WEEK 2
Cosmogony - Origin of the Universe
This religion believes in reincarnation and as a result of the cycles the origin of the universe cannot be clearly stated. Still, this chaos of births and deaths is controlled by three Gods, brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.
Nature of God/Creator
Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva are responsible for holding the world together. Brahma creates a world which is preserved by Vishnu and Shiva destroys the world so it can be rebuilt again,
View of Human Nature
Humans have a ritualistic life, giving proper sacrifices to thegods, get married and have children. Humans then live their lives according to the teachings of the religious texts.
View of Good & Evil
Good and evil are viewed on a lens of relativity. As such, depending on the point of view, what is good or evil changes. What brings happiness is termed good and that which brings pain is evil. This then states that what is good or evil is simply a matter of the mind.
View of Salvation
Called moksha, it involves attainment of enlightenment and being liberated from the cycle of life and death.
View of After Life
The belief in reincarnation means that life after death is believed to be the rebirth into a new body.

BUDDHISM
WEEK 3
Cosmogony - Origin of the Universe
With his belief in cycles and birth, Buddha stated that determining the origin of the universe is inconceivable and cannot be explained. Buddha said of humans hunger to find the origin of everything as a poverty of thoughts.
Nature of God/Creator
Buddhism does not recognize the existence of a creator and present mankind as the vessels to their own destiny.
View of Human Nature
Buddhism teachings elaborate on self-originating change to oneself through meditation and following the teachings of Buddha. Meditation helps in training the mind which can then gain control of the body as a result. This enables the mind to be fully aware of thoughts and actions and promotes compassion towards others. The aim of humans is to attain a state of total enlightenment.
View of Good & Evil
Buddhism originates good and evil from human preference. As a result, overcoming evil is simply done by changing preference. Evil stems from a bout of desire. A tenet of Buddhism is the eight-fold path. Adhering to this will take away the desire that would have caused evil.
View of Salvation
Buddhism is about attaining a state of enlightenment, an understanding of oneself and the readiness and .

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.

Indigenous People
They have several questions about the creation and arrangement of the universe. The answers to these questions give the way for explaining everything we know (Shoko, 2007).Understanding the universe allows us to make sense of the world that we live in, but the attempt to understand it and the underlying nature of all things is difficult.
Their existed a god beyond the natural world, who was responsible for the creation of the universe (Radhakrishnan,1947).This perspective is based on the idea that a supreme being exists beyond our visibility. That, this god watches over everybody’s actions and that he is the ultimate solution that people run to while seeking help in times of crisis
Human beings must be in a position of creating a just environment that ensures comprehensive existence of individuals (Shoko, 2007). Human beings should act as rational beings in the process of making decisions pertaining creation of justice, correcting the wrongdoings and education of the upcoming generations on the correct norms and values that should be adhered to.
An individual who doesn’t conform to the societal norms and customs is considered as an outcast, and might even be disowned by the community members. Such a person is seen as an evil doer who should be stigmatized in the entire community. So this means that the good deeds are rewarded while the evil ones are punished (Radhakrishnan, 1947).
Salvation is an ultimate element. They are committed on the strict adherence to the preset norms and beliefs. The belief system is very strict such that they have to adhere to so as to ensure their prosperity in the society.
There is existence of life after death. This is due the perspective that, the children who are born into the society are often renamed after their ancestors so as to extend their lineage. They have got the belief that those ancestors are watching over them and protect them from any evil deeds.
The practices and rituals are unique in that, they are considered as being sacred, and that is why they are handled in a very responsible manner (Radhakrishnan,1947). Such practices and rituals are performed by specific people who are considered as being holy and goodhearted.
Are performed each and every season at specified time frames depending on the type of celebration. The ultimate aim is to bring together the society members.
Week 2
Hinduism and Jainism
Hindus believe that the nature and origin of all thing were from their main god called Brahma
They believe in the existence of one main god other gods with different descriptions that is being polytheistic
They view human beings as creatures of God and that creation take place after a new universe is created. Brahma gave rise to 7 sages which later populates the world.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

4. What is Jainism?
Jainism is a way of life and one of the oldest religions of the world.
It believes in a cyclical nature of universe. It discourages superstition
and blind faith and encourages free and rational thinking.
Jainism lays heavy emphasis on non-violence (ahimsa) and
discipline.
According to Jain philosophy, all Tirthankaras were born as human
beings but they have attained a state of perfection or enlightenment
through meditation and self realization. They are the “Gods” of
Jains.
Jains have always practiced non-violence, vegetarianism, meditation,
yoga, and environmentalism.
4
6. What are Basic Philosophies of Jainism?
Jainism believes in Godhood but does not believe God to be the First
Cause. God is not a Creator, Preserver or Destroyer of the universe.
“God” does not Punish or Reward
Each person is responsible for improving life by one’s self-endeavor
Each person is capable of achieving Godhood
All Living Beings have Souls & are Equal
All life is sacred
Therefore, living in peace & harmony is essential
Equality
Elimination of our Karmas is the Path to Liberation
& Achievement of Godhood
It requires multiple re-births
Ultimate Goal of Life
To be free from all karma
6
7. What is the Karma Theory?
The principles governing the successions of life cycles
(birth, life, and death) is Karma.
The Theory of Karma is founded on the simple law of cause
and effect. What we experience now is the result of our own
past action and our future is a function of our own choice
and making.
Explains the role that karmas play in our lives, how we
accumulate karmas, and how we get rid of them.
Actions of mind, speech, and body bind us with karma and
our intentions and the passions determine the duration,
strength and the results of the bondage. 7
8. Who Is Lord Mahavir?
Lord Mahavir - 24th (and final) Tirthankara
Born on March 30, 599 B.C. (about 2600 years ago) as a prince
in Bihar, India. He attained nirvana in the year 527 B.C. at the
age of 72.
The ultimate objective of his teaching is how one can attain the
total freedom from the cycle of birth, life, and death, and
achieve the permanent blissful state (known as liberation,
nirvana, absolute freedom, or Moksha.)
He shaped the present form of Jainism. Lord Mahavir
envisioned men and women to be on equal footing in the
matters of spiritual advancement.

10
11. Jain Temples
The idols of the 24 Tirthankaras are the same because they represent the quality and virtues of the
Tirthankaras, not the physical body. A unique symbol at the bottom of each idol differentiates
them.
For example, Lord Mahavir's idol is recognized by the symbol of a lion. 11
12. What does Jainism Teach about Ecology?
Non-Possessiveness / Aparigraha
Environmentalism Self-restraint is the second most
important Jain principle.
Minimizing consumption provides
respect for others’ life and environment.

waste the gifts of nature.
Share resources.
Nature provides enough for our
NEED, but not enough for our
GREED. 12

26. Jainism in USA – History
Two events anticipated the future arrival of Jainism in the
United States
1. The arrival of Virachand Gandhi in 1893 at Chicago's
World Parliament of Religions. He is therefore, considered the
father of American Jainism.
2. The construction of a "Jain temple" at the St. Louis World's Fair
in 1904-1905.
Jainism inspired Mahatma Gandhi’s non-violent struggle
for India’s independence from Britain.
Dr. M. L. King (USA) and Nelson Mandela (S. Africa)
applied the first principle of Jainism (ahimsa/non-
violence) in Civil Rights struggles

Why is “Jain” sometimes spelled “Jaina”?
Words often have an inherent “a” (pronounced ‘uh’ as in ‘under’) sound at the end of them. Though English is not
very particular about this sound (many English words are not pronounced phonetically), Indian languages are very
particular about sound. Thus, the word “Jain”, spelled in Hindi or Gujarati, does contain the inherent “a” sound at
the end. In order to negate this sound, a special marker is placed under the particular letter. Therefore, to translate
the word “Jain” from Prakrit or Sanskrit, it may be spelled with our without the “a”, simply because when spoken, it
does contain an “a” sound at the end. 28
