Dear Senior Advisory Board:
The topic that I will be researching is religion because it is such a controversial topic. Not to mention all the different beliefs about life and death and what our purpose in life is. Does everything happen for a reason? Do we even have a purpose? Or is everything random? These are the questions that I want to answer to try and have a better understanding of this existence.

I am choosing to narrow my study and research to Buddhism because the Buddhist philosophy intrigues me and has me curious to learn more. I know the basics about karma, meditation, and compassion.

    Hsi Lai Temple Research Paper

    The overwhelming sense of tranquility and guidance that this establishment exhibits through the teaching of Buddhism has changed my life forever. The peaceful mannerisms are definitely what drew me in first. I was also drawn to the lotus flowers in particular, even before my trip to the temple. I noticed these influential deities on top of several lotus flowers. During my guided tour to the main shrine, I learned that lotus flowers, which grow through muddy waters, bloom above the murk and is purified and renewed. Like Christianity, you can be saved and give your life to Jesus and too be renewed. I am drawn to this religion simply of that justification alone. To change your life for the better and restore a healthy more peaceful future is what draws me to Buddhism. I feel I will incorporate more of their lifestyle and ways into my life now due to what I have learned in this class and my visit to the temple. (word count:…

    Learning about the Buddha's Life is not important in Buddhism

    Buddhism is a religion that encompasses a variety of traditions, practicing teachings largely based on those of Siddhartha Gautama, commonly known as the Buddha, meaning ‘the awakened one’. The Buddha lived and taught in the eastern part of India between 6th and 4th centuries BCE. His journey to enlightenment has inspired 300 million people to follow his way of life, thus some Buddhists believe that it is a prerequisite to learn about the Buddha’s life to be a dedicated Buddhist.…

    is the practice of following the Buddha’s teachings with the goal of achieving ‘enlightenment’ and reaching nirvana. The core precept of Buddhism is that life is suffering brought on by humans’ attachments and desire, and that one must shed his or her attachments and be without desire in order to transcend life’s suffering.

    Yana Violice Story

    One main thing that I think has made me continue to practice certain qualities is Buddhism is because my parents really instilled in me the stories of previous Buddhists. I can remember other neighborhood kids not really caring to learn or talk about their religion while I was growing up but my siblings and I really actually enjoyed our teachings and lessons and I truly believe it was because of the stories. My mother was big on making everything into a visual so that it would stick with us a lot more. My favorite story was of the Prince Siddhattha. I made my parents tell and retell his story to me almost every single day! I’m sure they grew very tired of it but it just fascinated me so much as a child. Prince Siddhattha spent many years of his life inside a palace with all of the pleasures that a Prince could want. Then one day out of dissatisfaction, Siddhartha asked his charioteer to take him outside of the palace walls. Here he came across four different sights that would then become important to the Buddhist culture.…

    "Compassion and the Individual" Within Buddhism and Christianity

    Buddhism places the utmost value upon compassion. Buddhism teaches the purpose of each individual's life is to experience happiness. All happiness and suffering is either mental or physical; the mental is the most important kind, for it affects us the most. If we are able to develop compassionate behaviour, we will experience more inner peace and happiness, both mentally and physically. The Dalai Lama says that…

    religious exploration through Buddhism

    There are over 7 billion people on this world and over four-fifths of these people identify with a religion in one way or another (Livingston). Upon the hundreds of religions on Earth it is difficult to even begin to comprehend all their most basic beliefs, their scriptures, or even to whom they worship. The least any person can do is to learn about one of them and understand their belief system. During an assignment for school I was required to immerse my-self in a totally different religious belief system in order to acquire a greater knowledge of what it is like for humans to have religion and to have a deeper understanding of the belief system of another religion. I personally have always wanted to understand Buddhism and what it was like to be Buddhist. For my research I chose to go to the Wat Buddharangsi of Miami where I chose to take a meditation class which was open to the public and was the only ceremony outside from being a monk that I was allowed to witness and participate in. Before I took the meditation class I spoke with one of the monks that reside at this temple who allowed me full disclosure to any questions I was curious about. I learned so much during my visit that I found a greater respect for religion and its many groups of people who reside in each and every one of them.…

    Buddhism is much more a philosophy than it is a religion in that it explains a way of life or of being (White, B., 1993). The path of a Buddhist can be summed up in the following way: “to lead a moral life; to be mindful and aware of thoughts and actions; and to develop wisdom and understanding”…

    Buddhism Change Over Time

    Buddhism is centered around self-exploration and meditation to reach the state of Nirvana. When one reaches a state of Nirvana they become Buddha, “The Enlighted One.” Buddhism does not have a specific founder nor a specific God. Buddhist do not believe in a “God” they believe in humanity. No one saves them but themselves, no one can and no one may. They themselves must walk the path, but Buddha clearly shows the way for them. The Buddhist lifestyle centers around peace and wisdom. Buddhist believe their way in life is decided by the natural result through…
