    Reflective Essay: Dexter's First Crusades

    Good morning everyone, today’s blog is going to be a bit different; I mean you all might not even believe me. Yesterday I went to visit my parents in Seattle for the holidays; only to come across a laboratory in our attic. Apparently, my brother is this boy genius that everyone failed to tell me about. I came across this machine that reminded me of the freezer that froze Fry on Futurama and then he was thawed out thousands of years later.…

    If it is decided that the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama should continue and there is a need for the fifteenth Dalai Lama to be recognized, responsibility for doing so will primarily rest on the concerned officers of the Dalai Lama’s Gaden Phodrang Trust. They should consult the various heads of the Tibetan Buddhist traditions and the reliable oath-bound Dharma Protectors who are linked inseparably to the lineage of the Dalai…

    Dalai Lama The Impact Of Buddhism On Society

    In his expression as the Dalai Lama he is continuing the tradition of the ‘Lama’ hereby impacting the community as he is a ‘Chenrizi’ the manifestation of the Bodhisattva of Compassion (A person who is able to reach nirvana but delays doing so out of compassion in order to save suffering beings). The Lama is devoting himself to better the Tibetan Buddhism community giving the hope to attain enlightenment and in a sense developing Buddhism as a whole. In the past few decades his holiness has played a significant role on the development and expression of Buddhism, laying a path for new and future adherents to move upon. An important cultural aspect of his development can be seen where the Dalai Lama preserved ‘Tibetan/Vajrayana Buddhism’. As a result of the People 's Republic of China’s occupation of Tibet “The General public’s practice of Buddha Dharma declined; although there was a great deal of devotion, there was little education” as an attribute to this, the Dalai Lama entered into to talks with the Chinese government to help free and redevelop Tibbet’s religion and cultural independence.…

    Bioethics In Buddhism

    The worship and teachings of Buddhism has had a significant impact on individuals and the wider Buddhist community. Buddhism claims to be a way of life that avoids the extremes of denial and indulgence and proposes a middle way. This is a key tenet that all adherents must follow, in order to achieve nirvana, the ultimate goal for all Buddhists. Subsequently, there are many teachings and practices which guide Buddhist followers on how to live a life in attaining nirvana, that affect people individually and society as a whole. The significant practice of Temple Puja and the teachings by the Buddhist texts, principles, the XIVth Dalai Lama and the Buddha himself, guide and outline adherents on issues that may impact upon their path of enlightenment…

    Critical Analysis: Lonely Places By Pico Iyer

    While it is true that we should not criticize predecessors for overlooking nuances and changes happened after their era, it does not necessarily follow that people can entitle others “lonely” because they are not yet on the world stage. Rome was not built in a day, so were the developing countries. They were in the transition to their past to this incrementally more connected world by progressing themselves, and by the witness of history, many of them succeed. Second, of course, many will probably disagree and raise another question that some areas, such as Tibet, is a truly consecrated religious place, but it also focuses on economy and politics, so it is not true that Tibetans are all satisfied with their beliefs. However, they may over misconstrue the meaning and importance of belief.…

    Dalai Lama And Pluralism

    He addresses the importance and advantages of the diversity of religion and at the same time discuss Buddhism. According to John Hick’s Dalai Lama supported religious pluralism across the world and contrary to this he appeared to be against other religions (Hick). I disagree with what John Hick has indicated in his hypothesis that the perspective of Dalai Lama as being of agitation of religious pluralism. This is because Dalai Lama spends much of his time discussing and spreading Buddhism religion instead of supporting religious pluralism as argued in John Hick’s hypothesis. Even in his interviews, Dalai Lama will not only talk about religious diversity but also must include his religion of Buddhism in his talks.…

    If you did a good deed to help someone else out, the universe will bless you with a good deed by another person. Buddha challenged the Hindu idea that only the upper class had a chance of being holy, which jeopardized his relationship with the hierarchy of Nepal and India. Buddhism was established in China by travelers of the Silk Road into China. The religion spread quickly as China’s oldest foreign religion. Another important concept in the Han Dynasty was dreams.…

    What Is The Dalai Lama?

    Although the Dalai Lama has been of fundamental importance to advocate non-violent approaches to policies and has never claimed to be seeking an independent nation status for Tibet, disputes between the two States have frequently escalated into violent conflict. After almost 10 years of the guerrilla war between Tibetan rebels and China’s The People's Liberation Army (PLA) soldiers, on the 17th March 1959, the political and spiritual leader of Tibet, the Dalai Lama was forced to flee his own country into India. Tibet during this period saw thousands of deaths fighting the PLA forces. As shown in a BBC report, “All fighting-age men who had survived the revolt were deported, and those fleeing the scene reported that Chinese troops burned corpses…
