Siddhartha Gautama was born a prince in Nepal in the 5th century BC. He saw suffering in the world which prompted him to leave his life of luxury to find spiritual answers. After years of meditation and ascetic practices, he attained enlightenment under a bodhi tree. He then taught others, explaining that the causes of suffering can be overcome through following the Middle Way and Noble Eightfold Path. He traveled to teach for the rest of his life, establishing Buddhism.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

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
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

11. Between Myth and Reality:
Retelling the Story of the Life
of Siddhartha
12. BETWEEN MYTH AND REALITY: RETELLING THE
STORY OF THE LIFE OF SIDDHARTHA
All existing accounts of the Buddha’s life are written
years after his Parinirvana by idolizing followers
rather than by objective historians.
This case usually happens to the stories of lives of
many great founders of religions.
Due to the incomprehensibility of the sources, it has
become thorny to separate facts of lives of great holy
men from the myths and legends.
13. Myths and Beliefs, obscuring the figure of the
historical Siddhartha, have become almost
significant to Buddhism as the words and deeds of
the historical Gautama.
Siddhartha is one such man of great stature and his
teaching is one such great world influence.
15. MAYA’S DREAM
Queen Maha-Maya, (Mary in English), had a dream that
a white elephant appeared to her from heaven then
entered her womb.
The King and Queen consulted an astrologer to interpret
the meaning of the dream.
The meaning of Maya’s dream is that the Queen will give
birth to a great prince.
It was like an Immaculate Conception and a case of a
virgin birth.
In Ancient India, there are celestial signs for the coming
of a Buddha.
16. The signs are as follow:
It must be at the right time (556 BC)
The right country (India)
The right center of the country (Jambudwpa)
The right caste (Ksatriya)
The right mother (Maha-Maya)
The King and Queen gave the baby the forename
Siddhartha (which means Aim Attained), but also known
as Gautama or Sankhyamuni (the sage of Sakhya tribe).
His follower would refer to him as ‘Lord’ or ‘Bhayavat’
(Blessed One).
But Siddhartha would refer to him as the ‘Tathahata’
which means “he who has gone to the Truth in the same
way as his predecessor.”
17. A week after giving birth to Siddhartha, Queen Maha-
Maya died. The King married the Queen’s sister and
eventually, Siddhartha grew up under her new mother’s
care.
The King consulted again the astrologer to read the
fortune of his son, but an old ascetic Asita came to pay
reverence.
Upon seeing the baby, Asita saw thirty-two signs of
Buddhahood in Siddhartha.
Asita also said that if the prince leave the palace, he will
become the Buddha, the Enlightened One.
Asita also said that the savior has finally come but he will
no longer live to see him become the Buddha.
19. THIRTY-TWO SIGNS OF A BUDDHA
Asita saw thirty-two signs of a Buddha in Siddhartha.
These signs are as follow:
A well-formed head and forehead
The hair is blue-black and shining, and each curl grows from
left to right
The forehead is broad and straight
Has a lock of hair between the two eyebrows which turned to
the right and it is as white as snow
The eyelashes are like those of a newborn calf
Has shining blue-black eyes
Have forty teeth, all even
The teeth are close together
20. The teeth are pure white
His voice is like that of a Maha-Brahma (a great/holy
Brahmin)
He has exquisite taste
His jaws are like those of a lion
His tongue is soft and long
Shoulder and arms are beautifully molded
The seven parts of the body are round and full
The space between the shoulders is well filled out
His skin has a golden color
His arms are long, so that when he stands without
bending, the hands can touch the knees
The upper part of the body is like that of a lion
His body is straight like that of a Maha-Brahma.
21. From each hair-sack a single hair grows
These locks of hair bend to the right at the top
The organs of sex are hidden by nature
The curves of his legs are full and round
His legs are like those of a deer
His fingers and toes are slender and of equal length
The instep of his feet is high
His heels are long
Feet and hands are delicate and long
Fingers and toes are covered with an epidermis
His feet are flat and stand firmly
Under the soles of his feet, two shining wheels appear
with a thousand of spokes.
23. IN THE GARDEN OF PLEASURE
King Suddhadona was disturbed by the prophecy of
Asita.
The King decided to keep the prince distracted by the
beauty that can be provided by the material world.
Siddhartha was never allowed to see anything ugly,
painful, and unpleasant that may arouse him to harbor
question in his mind.
24. The prince grew up to be a pleasant boy.
The King thought that he wanted his son to be a great
king and he must be strong and powerful.
At age sixteen, Siddhartha was persuaded by his father
to find himself a wife. The King invited all the beautiful
princesses from different kingdom to become his son’s
wife.
Siddhartha chose his cousin named Yasudhara but her
father challenged Siddhartha.
He accepted the challenge and eventually, they married
and lived in the palace far away from the cruelty of the
outside world.
26. EXCURSION OUTSIDE THE PALACE
Siddhartha got tired living inside the palace where he
was being surrounded by luxurious things.
He told his father that he wanted to see the outside of the
palace.
The King made an ordinance and instructed the people to
beautify and clean the city.
The prince visited the place outside the palace and he
saw a lot.
But when he got tired, he ordered to his charioteer to go
back to the palace.
27. There was an old man who did not hear the instruction of
the King.
The prince was disturbed because of what he saw
during his excursion because it was not familiar for him
to see such thing.
After sometime, Siddhartha asked again for another
excursion.
The first time he went out of the palace, he just saw an
old man along the way.
The second excursion, he saw a sick man who was
deeply in pain.
The third time, he saw a funeral procession and
cremation of a dead man.
Channa, his charioteer, explained everything to him but
he couldn’t understand everything.
29. Because of his curiosity to know more about the palace,
he decided to leave his wife and his newly born son
Rahula and his father, the King, and his kingdom.
He left everything inside the palace to search for the
answer to the question bothering in his mind.
It was a moment to be forever remembered by the
Buddhists as the day of Great Renunciation.
31. Because of his Great Renunciation, Siddhartha shave
his head, removed his princely garment and exchanged
it for the rug-cloth of a monk and a begging bowl.
He became a humble pilgrim in the wilderness.
He wanted to search for the truth about human
existence, he wanted to know how he could deliver man
from fear.
