The Sermon At Benares
[This is one version of the Budhha's first presentation of his doctrine, as related by a monk who is
passing on the tradition as he heard it.]
Thus have I heard: at one time the Blessed One dwelt at Benares at Isipatana in the Deer Park. There
the Blessed One addressed the five monks:-
"These two extremes, monks, are not to be practiced by one who has gone forth from the world. What
are the two? That conjoined with the passions and luxury, low, vulgar, common, ignoble, and useless;
and that conjoined with self-torture, painful, ignoble, and useless. Avoiding these two extremes the
Tathagata [the Perfect One; that is, the Buddha] has gained the enlightenment of the Middle Path, which
produces insight and knowledge, and tends to calm, to higher knowledge, enlightenment, Nirvana.
"And what, monks, is the Middle Path, of which the Tathagata has gained enlightenment, which produces
insight and knowledge, and tends to calm, to higher knowledge, enlightenment, Nirvana? This is the
noble Eightfold Way: namely, right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right
effort, right mindfulness, right concentration. This, monks, is the Middle Path, of which the Tathagata has
gained enlightenment, which produces insight and knowledge, and tends to calm, to higher knowledge,
enlightenment, Nirvana."
And the Blessed One spoke kindly to his disciples, pitying them for their errors, and pointing out the
uselessness of their endeavors, and the ice of ill-will that chilled their hearts melted away under the gentle
warmth of the master's persuasion.
Now the Blessed One set the wheel of the most excellent law rolling and he began to preach to the five
monks, opening to them the gate of immortality, and showing them the bliss of Nirvana.
The Buddha said:
"The spokes of the wheel are the rules of pure conduct; justice is the uniformity of their length; wisdom is
the tire; modesty and thoughtfulness are the hubs in which the immovable axle of truth is fixed.
"He who recognizes the existence of suffering, its cause, its remedy, and its cessation has fathomed the
four noble truths. He will walk in the right path. Right views will be the torch to light his way. Right
aspirations will be his guide. Right speech will be his dwelling place on the road. His gait will be straight,
for it is right behavior. His refreshments will be the right way of earning his livelihood. Right efforts will be
his steps; right thoughts his breath; and right contemplation will give him the peace that follows in his
footprints.
"(1)Now this, monks, is the noble truth of suffering: birth is painful, old age is painful, sickness is painful,
death is painful, sorrow, lamentation, dejection, and despair are painful. Contact with unpleasant things is
painful, not getting what one wishes is painful. In short the five groups of grasping (skandhas) are
painful.
"(2) Now this, monks, is th.
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.

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.
