Temple

Christ Rejected by the Elders in the Temple The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) houses some of Philadelphia’s oldest, most historic and most renowned pieces of artwork in its Landmark Building built in 1876. Naturally, I felt it was my duty to peruse PAFA in hopes of finding a Philadelphian artifact that interested me. I stumbled upon the gigantic 200 x 260 in. (52,000 in2) oil painting, Christ Rejected (by the Elders in the Temple), created by Philadelphian artist of the 18th-19th…

The Massacre of the Great Temple is a famous incident that occurred during the overtaking of the Aztec Capital city ‘Tenichititlan’ by the Spanish in the year 1520. While this famous massacre is most often remembered of the fall of the Aztec Empire, and the rise of Spanish domination in the region, the fall of the empire was most attributed to Hernan Cortes and his small army of men disregarding orders from the Spanish crown, and using violence and persuasion to bring down an empire. In the…

I gathered my satchel, umbrella and notepad to start my exploration of Oahu's Byodo-In Temple. I shoved a crumpled green wad of paper at a man sitting in a small booth near the entrance. He took my money and gave me a half-smile. I found my way to the bridge that crossed a small creek of muddy, water that was swelling from the many days of rain we had in the past few days. While partially crossing the bridge, I stopped mid-stroll in amazement of the grand structure that was beore me. All of the…

The Seven Stars Temple Remains locates 30 km southwest of Karasahr County and sits at the east foot of Mount Huola (霍拉山). The site was populated during the 7th and 8th century as part of the Karasahr Country (焉耆国), among the remains of which discovered several sculptures. This damaged artifact collected at the Seven Stars Remains was portrayed with a plump face, long and slim eye, and a subtle smile which indicate the classical Bodhisattva image of the Western Regions (西域). The Bodhisattva gazes…

one, I used the chronological strategy. The chronological strategy is used when a speaker is describing the history of an event or to instruct how to go about doing a task (Ford-Brown, 2014, p.315). During my first speech, I spoke about the life of Temple Grandin, and why her life made her my hero. The audience can tell I use this strategy because I first start with her birth. I go through all of the adversity and accomplishments she has had throughout her life. I then finish with who she is…

The Peoples Temple is grounded in the idea of Christian Socialism, focusing on the ideas of diversity and equality among all people. Their complete distrust of the government and the idea that the racist, capitalist United States would take over and control all people became the main beliefs of the group, especially Jim Jones. This distrust would eventually culminate in the move to Guyana and the final act of “revolutionary suicide”, thus escaping from the forces that wished to destroy them…

Site Visit The Site that I visited was Dawn Mountain Tibetan Buddhist temple on Sunday the 27th at 11:00 a.m. I choose to go to Dawn Mountain because I like the fact that Buddhism doesn’t really have a god, and it’s more of a Philosophy. Also I like to meditate, it’s very tranquil and relaxing. I didn’t have many expectations going in just because I didn’t really know what was going to happen during the service. All I expect was it would contain focus breathing a lot of silences. I didn’t…

misunderstood. Various people have the opinion that students with special needs cannot learn, and they are beneath their peers. However, that is not the case. For example, the movie ‘Temple Grandin’ which told the true story of Temple Grandin, diagnosed with autism, illustrated how she was able to learn and succeed in life. Although Temple Grandin had autism, and who happened to be different than her peers, she had an astonishing mind. Attending college, she achieved immense success in science.…

Describe the experience I decided to visit the Hindu Temple on Lackman Road in Shawnee, Ks. My first impression of the temple is that it was clean and well kept. In fact, there were people painting the entry gate as I drove in. As I walked up to the front entrance, I noticed that the sidewalk has many different, colorful patterns. In short, the place seemed inviting. Once inside the door, my first sense to be overpowered was the smell…incense and lots of it. I located the lobby sign to…

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…
