    Hindu Cleanliness Summary

    Analysis of Hsuan Tsang’s Citation on Hindu Cleanliness Hsuan Tsang's accounts of India provide an abundance of insight into the culture of Hindu society during the seventh century. What makes his writing so unique is that it is historical documentation from an outsider’s perspective, this is helpful in understanding the importance of the details recorded because it contrasts with what the normal culture of Hsuan Tsang would have been accustomed to in China. It’s fortunate that so much from these travels were documented and brought back to China and not just the sought after Buddhist texts. The passage that is being directly analyzed is from Buddhist Records of the Western World p. 77, and provides details related to personal cleanliness,…

    Each one of the four idols represents the apparent weakness in humanity that invokes a wall that obstructs our search for true knowledge. For example, Bacon argues about the falsehood of knowledge that is solely based on our senses in his quote concerning the Idols of the Tribe “For it is a false assertion that the sense of man is the measure of things” (882). Additionally, Bacon believes that by depending on our senses for knowledge we create our own caves/walls as Bacon stats “the den of his own, which refracts and discolors the light of nature” (882). Through, each individual description of an idol, Bacon stresses the point that we are creating fraudulent measures of “things” based on our own fleeting senses, creating empty reflections or shadows that personify our egos and limit us in our search for the “true” light. That emptiness and falsehood are described by Bacon in his quote “The human understanding is of its own nature prone to abstractions and gives a substance and reality to things which are fleeting” (Bacon 886).…

    The story of Temple Drake, a young southern girl within the town of Memphis is the image of purity and sainthood that is corrupted by a dramatic event of the “corncob rape” followed by the slow creep into insanity or could be view as a release from the restrains of Southern society norms at the time. The idea that William Faulkner tries to show within his book of Sanctuary is the original sin that lives in all of us as humans. We as humans are easily corruptible and fall into the darkness of society when called to do such actions or planted in the wrong environments. The human heart is always at conflict with itself and ultimately if given the chance, the darkness of our human hearts will win. Temple Drake was one of those individuals that…

    I like to think of the I-Kuan-Tao Zhong Shu Temple as my second home. I find that the Temple is a magical place, no matter where it is, Taiwan, San Francisco, Honolulu, or Michigan, they all share the same atmosphere. It is a mixture of warmth, love, care, and security. I am always greeted by warm smiles as I enter the Temple, community members will ask me how I have been and how school is going lately. And even though my usual answer to anyone else is simply a “good,” I know that at the Temple, I can truly express myself with no worry of any judgements.…

We seek after our desires, look upon those who are successful and admirable, and follow after what they believed.…
