    As a society we depend on the belief and faith in God to keep us going. Many forms of religion pray on this and the idea that God is a higher being able to point humanity in the right direction because no ordinary human can set the authority over ourselves. We have to have someone who knows all right from wrong and is able to do such mighty things without his rules having to be questioned or argued against. We have depended so much on this idea that it has become nearly impossible, in the eyes of most humans, for anyone to live a good life without faith in God or a religion of some sort. In fact, after reading chapter five, “Morality and Religion, in the book, The Fundamentals of Ethics, by Russ Shafer-Landau, it has even become an ethical…

    The Dalai Lama’s perspective of humanity, purpose of life and idea happiness can be compared to the Cyrenaics’s school of philosophy which was established by Aristippus of Cyrene (435 – 356 BCE). Aristippus was a pupil of Socrates, but had adopted a very different philosophical outlook, teaching that the goal of life was to seek pleasure by adapting circumstances to oneself and by maintaining proper control over both adversity and prosperity. Aristippus’s school of thought propounded that the only good is positive pleasure, and pain is considered only evil. They postulated that all feelings are momentary so all past and future pleasures have no real existence of an individual. Dalai Lama also strongly deduced that enjoying life at the moment…

    The word ‘Moksha’ is derived from ‘moksh’ which can mean emancipation or liberation etc. Sometimes it might also refer to salvation but salvation may not do justice to the word since it has a kind of Christian connotation to it rather than a Hinduism one. But it is frequently used to translate the word moksh. So instead of it meaning only freedom from sin, it includes freedom from the human life itself. In soteriological terms, moksha means freedom from samsara, the cycle of birth and death.…
