minority protection status, but as India grew closer and closer to independence, they feared that they would lose this status (Ansari, “How the Partition of India happened – and why its effects are still felt today”). During the Partition, there were two key leaders: Mohandas Gandhi, an Indian nationalist, and Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the president of the Muslim League. Both leaders wanted independence from the British, but Jinnah proposed the formation of a new country: Pakistan. After World War…

The males play the key role in the stories as they are the ones who search for enlightenment, leave their old ways and life behind, and achieve liberation from saṃsāra ( ).Women who practice Buddhism are not perceived as the great Buddha or…

Mahayana is the largest division of Buddhism, so it is only appropriate to talk about this branch first. Mahayana is the dominant type of Buddhism in China, Japan, Korea, Tibet, Vietnam, and a few different countries.

It is basically a cause-effect theory in Buddhism. However, when you begin to dissect what Buddha really means when he brings up the core idea of dependent arising, it can seem perplexing. For the most part it seems that Buddhists use the principle to illustrate life, specifically birth and death, and how…
