    The first two pictures that are being compared are Shirin Neshatb “Allegience with Wakefulness” 1994 and Jasper Johns “Three Flags” 1958. In the “Allegience with Wakefulness” is instrumentalist. It is instrumentalist because it is the writing on this person’s feet is not English and there is a gun between the person’s feet. This might be taken as things that are different from what we are used to be taken as threat. American people in general have a closed minded way of looking at things. The other aesthetic perspective for this art piece that are noted is linguistic. Linguistic are has symbols as well and the gun could also be seen as a symbol. It has words written in it too specifically on the feet. This artistic piece is powerful because it can have so many meanings to it and can mean many things to many different people. “Three Flags” is a linguistic painting. It is obvious that this is a linguistic painting because it is the American flag. The American flag is tied strongly to American culture. It is a symbol of our freedom. Imitationist is the next aesthetic perspective that is seen in this paper, obviously because it looks just like the American flag. The American flag looks like it is popping of the page because of the way they get smaller as they move forward. Both of these art pieces have a strong message behind them. The first one, “Allegience with Wakefulness” has a language in it that most Americans would not be able to understand. It also has a gun which could mean a lot of different things in this particular picture. The second picture “Three Flags” is pretty much the opposite of that. It is very recognizable for everyone in the American culture. It stands for freedom our freedom.…

    Travelers among Mountains and Streams is comprised of several design elements. Form, leading lines, and shape. These design elements move the eye throughout the painting in a continuous interaction between the elements. Each section is well balanced and rich in content. The large mountain in the foreground sets the foundation for the painting by serving as a barrier, keeping the viewers eyes from leaving the page. The area showing the travelers moving in the stream sets a sense of motion, engaging the eye to travel through the painting. The grand scale of all the elements inspire the viewer to be transported into the realm of fantasy promoted by Northern Song painters. The painting takes on a naturalistic feel that is derived from the combination of paint, ink, and silk. The people and mules moving through the stream bring a sense of scale to the painting. They are an important element in that they are in direct comparison to the large Mountain. The helps promote the idea that there is something bigger than all of of us and that humans are somehow spiritually connected to the earth. An important idea that Northern Song Artist aspired to communicate through ere work. The painting is done in a realistic approach yet is not set in a specific place further enhancing the dream like quality meant to promote spiritual communication and enlightenment. This interpretation is about the balance between the countryside and mans attempt to conquer it brought to life in the form of a painting by Fan Kuan. In the painting the small humans are engulfed by the enormous mountains giving the effect of unattainability, yet the human spirit to conquering the elements arises out of the need explore. The human and animals traveling through the stream give the…

    The Four Noble Truths are one of the central teachings of the Buddhist tradition. The teachings on the four noble truths explain the nature of dukkha, its causes, and how it can be overcome. The four noble truths can be summarized as: The truth of dukkha (suffering, anxiety, and stress), the truth of the origin of dukkha, the truth of the cessation of dukkha, and the truth of the path leading to the cessation of dukkha. Buddhists also believe in Nirvana. Nirvana means "cessation", "extinction" (of craving and ignorance and therefore suffering and the cycle of involuntary rebirths (samsara)), and “extinguished; it is also known as “Awakening” or “Enlightenment” in the…

    Dukkha

    • 965 Words
    • 4 Pages

    “And what, monks, is the Noble Truth of Suffering?” (p. 344). The Noble Truth of suffering is the first Noble Truth of four Noble Truths. Buddhists use the term dukkha to refer to life as suffering. Dukkha is something you must overcome in a lifetime to reach a higher stage in the next lifetime. The ultimate stage is called Nibbana. Nibbana is ultimate peace and the goal of every Buddhist. In order to reach Nibbana, there are several stages you must learn about and overcome. One of these stages is called the Four Noble Truths. I will focus on the first Noble Truth. The first Noble Truth will focus on the fact that life is dukkha. I will analyze the three types of dukkha; ordinary dukkha, dukkha from our experience of change, and dukkha from our resistance to change. Each of these kinds of dukkha are essential in overcoming the first Noble Truth and leading to the right pathway of Nibbana.…

    David Eckel, if I had to define Buddhism it would not be by principle that governs a Buddhist way of life but the ultimate goal to which that life is directed, the key would be nirvana. Nirvana is the definitive cessation of the suffering that plagues human existence. The concept of nirvana gains its meaning and much of its importance in classical Buddhist thought from the assumption of reincarnation or transmigration (samsara), an assumption that Indian Buddhist share with their Hindu counterpart (Eckel, D., 1946). Classical Buddhist sources pictured human life as a continuous cycle of death and rebirth. A person, or sentient being could rise on the scale of transmigration as far as the gods in heaven or fall down through the realm of animals to one of the lowest hells. The realm of a person's life in a future life is determined by the actions or karma performed in this life (Eckel, D., 1946). Good actions could bring a good rebirth and bad actions could bring a bad rebirth. In either case, however, the results in are impermanent. According to Eckel even the actions that brought rebirth in the highest heaven eventually would decay and condemn a person to wander again through the realms of rebirth. The only way to escape the cycle all together is to extinguish…

    Nirvana is the goal of all Buddhists, which is the ending of all pain and suffering. It is the end of the cycle of birth and death that everyone is acknowledged for reincarnation. In the earliest times of Buddhism, statues of the Buddha were not used. Instead, Buddhist art consisted of images symbolizing the Buddha and his teachings, these include; The Lotus, The Wheel of the Law, The Bodhi tree, The Buddha's footprints, and The Eight Auspicious Symbols. Buddhism consists of multiple sacred texts. One of them is the Pali Tipitaka. This sacred text is the earliest collection of Buddhist teachings. Another sacred text is Mahayana Sutras. Mahayana Sutras are a broad genre of Buddhist scriptures that began to be put together from the first century B.C.E. The Tibetan Book of the Dead is another sacred text. It describes the stages of death from the Tibetan perspective. It puts the experiences in order and religious opportunities a person goes through in different stages: while dying, at the moment of death, during the fortynine day time period between death and rebirth. To Buddhism, death is not the end of life. It is the end of time a person has in the body they are in at the moment. It is said that a person’s spirits will remain, attaching to a new body and new life. Where the spirits end up depends on the amount of negative and positive actions a person had in their past life.…

    Nirvana In Buddhism

    Dharma is the teaching and doctrine of the Buddha, which include the Four Noble Truths – the most fundamental Buddhist doctrine. The Third Truth explains nirvana as cessation; the cessation of craving. “When these effects of the chain of causation are ended one by one, he at last, being free from all strain and substratum, will pass into blissful Nirvana.”[1] In effect once you can end suffering caused by craving you can attain Nirvana, this is not parinirvana (final nirvana) like the Buddha achieved; rather it is sopadisesa-nirvana (nirvana in this life). “This path opens the eyes, bestows understanding, leads to peace of mind, to the higher wisdom, to full enlightenment, and to Nirvana!”[2] The idea of nirvana is neither cause nor effect but rather being, this is a hard concept…

    Cycle Of Birth

    • 1424 Words
    • 6 Pages

    The Buddha claims humans are stuck in an endless cycle of suffering known as saṃsāra because of our unawareness of; impermanence, suffering and non-self. Saṃsāra is the endless cycle of birth, existence, suffering and death. It is considered to be dukkha which is unsatisfactory and troublesome because an individual will remain in this cycle if influenced by desire and avidya (ignorance). Teachings from the Buddha have emphasised individuals cannot achieve true happiness because it is only temporary and eventually will make us suffer more due to its loss. A core principle which the Buddha applies to explain this progress of ending the cycle of rebirth and reaching enlightenment is called the anatta (no-self doctrine). The no-self doctrine,…
