his mind. In the source Desmond Tutu explains how he will no longer be able to vote for the ANC because of the corruption in the government. South Africa are in alliance with China and China dislike the Dalai Lama which is why it is understandable that the government would not want the Dalai Lama to visit the country.

or many, the loss of a natural, permanent tooth is overwhelming. If a front tooth is lost, there will be visible gaps when an individual smiles. Frequently, this causes a feeling of self-consciousness, which leads to the purposeful hiding of teeth during a smile or while laughing. Besides cosmetic changes, tooth loss also affects the way an individual speaks and chews; thus, reducing his or her overall quality of life. Unfortunately, even if the tooth loss occurred in an area not directly…

taboo. Among the few exceptions are Zen and Dzogchen. They hold that there is nothing that is inherently sacred. (This ought to be an obvious consequence of the Heart Sutra—but most Buddhists do not see it that way.) If you spend enough time with Aro Lamas, it is certain that they will at some point roast your sacred cows—whatever they are. They will contradict something you think every good person must believe. (That might be strongly-held political, religious, or cultural values.) Or they may…

consciousness does, indeed, require a physical basis, whilst many would disagree with this. A dualist would say that mind and body are separate and so is consciousness. In Indian philosophy, consciousness is that which is luminous and knowing.

Censorship, or the act of restricting the expression of certain dissenting or non-sanctioned views, represents a profound problem in many countries throughout the world. Although all governments arguably employ this tactic to an extent, some undoubtedly have a habit of suppressing their people more than others. China stands as a prime example of one such country. Denying any semblance of free speech to its 1.3 billion people, China’s various restrictions on expression, specifically in regards…

- The Pope says it prepares us for eternal life and the Dalai Lama says that it is caused by our own ignorance and not a God. I don't think God lets us suffer. It's because suffering is common to all and because it is inescapable. Bibliography n.d. Oklahoma City Bombing. [Internet]. Available from: [Accessed 6th…

“Religion” appeared as a word as early as c. 1200. It has an Anglo-French origin and constitutes as a basic vocabulary term for any native English speaker. In 1200, “religion” maintained the same definition as it does today, which is “a state of life bound by monastic vows or the condition of one who is a member of a religious order, especially in the Roman Catholic Church” (Religion). Before this time, however, there were many different words pronounced similarly to “religion”, but carried a…

policies on Tibet. When we come to his achievements in policies on Tibet, he tried hard to come up with methods to improve the relationship between the leaders in Beijing and Tibetans when Deng came to power, such as reestablish relations with Dalai Lama by achieving this in late 1978 when Deng became the leader of China . But this is not enough to reduce the hostilities and contradiction of Tibetan minority towards the Han majority stemmed from the cultural revolution in which Red guards and…

It is for this reason that I am re-applying to the PA program. I am committed and I have what it takes to succeed in this career.
