Firstly when Tim arrives at the monastery, Pah Nanachat he is given an explanation about the vinaya rules and the precepts carried out in the monastery. These rules are set by the Ajahn (head monk) to assure the method of living with each other and have peace among each other. The Ajahn states that; “The rules we follow are the same ones the Buddha laid down in the Vinaya twenty five hundred years ago… The monks follow two hundred and twenty seven training precepts” (Ward, 17). Tim was to be ordained as a Pakhao, the Ajahn explains the five precept and the additional three rules which he needed to follow. The five precepts are some training rules for disciplining a person’s body, speech and mind (Sri Dhammananda K., par 5 pg. 3). The first precept is about avoiding killing any living being. …show more content…
The second precept is to avoid stealing. Avoiding inappropriate speech such as lying, coarse language and peripheral gossips. The fourth precept is to refrain from any seductive activities. The Bhikkuni’s section has been formed a distance away from the Bhikku monastery to avoid any erotic feelings. However, the Ajahn explains the greatest issue is the provocation to masturbate. Masturbation is an act of sexuality and it is prohibited in the monastery and for a Buddhist Pakhao, Novice and Monk. The only exemption is the emission of semen during dream while sleeping (Ward, 18). “Intentional emission of semen, except during dream, is a Samghavasesa” (Prebish, 55). The fifth precept is non consumption of alcohol, drugs or
The first virtue Ben Franklin wanted was “An Aversion to Tyranny”. The main idea of this to Ben is that he doesn’t like tyranny, which is power or control of one person. He didn’t like to be told what to do to and he also liked some control and therefore, have a limited government. Ben didn’t want any dictatorship either, which meant no kings or queens. Franklin realized that he didn’t like the idea of tyranny when he was 12 years old. He became an apprentice at the print shop of his older brother, James, who tended to be a tougher boss.
In this paper I am going to state seven commandments that I think is most important in our society. The seven commandments in Animal Farm were based on animal rights and what not to do so that they avoid acting like humans. These commandments however changed later in the story so it was very hypocritical. My commandments will be basic rules and will not change under any circumstances.
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how applying the Malcolm Baldrige framework redefines, expands, and improves an organization as a whole (Shook). Throughout this paper we will discuss the Malcolm Baldrige Award and its framework, also in regards to its 2014 recipient Hill Country Memorial Hospital.
In this course, History 101 Western Civilization to 1689, the five things I have learned are: Homer’s life and writings; Aristotle, and his synthesis of early thinkers; Alexander the Great, and his legacy; Julius Caesar, and his power; and finally, Martin Luther, and his influence. I feel that in this course I learned more about people in history than I have ever learned before. These people I am discussing have made tremendous impacts on the world and have allowed so much growth in western civilization. The topics I have picked to discuss are the most important to me because they symbolize, in my mind, eras, and the great changes of the world, mainly through mindset and belief. These five topics show how people are needed to make changes, and to make history, and how the ideas that are brought before these times have lasted the years.
The sermon by Buddha informs people about the five precepts of Buddhism. The Five Percepts are one shall not harm living things, take what's not given, misuse sex, lie, or use alcohol or drugs. Buddha says people will suffer in America due to wishing for fame and fortune. He speaks about using internet and television as a gateway to filter into people's desires. He takes the people step by step into how to reach enlightenment.
Crying and laughing, people experience many different emotions during different stages of their life. Sometimes they would find themselves dissatisfied almost every single moment when they assume that the world is not fulfilling their desire, in other words, their expectations on how the world supposes to be. Dan, an ordinary college student from the story Way of the Peaceful Warrior written by Dan Millman, faces the same obstacle as many others do. Although he has lived a pleased and content life, passion suddenly disappears from him. Such depression stops when he meets Socrates, an old man at the gas station, and learns inspirational lessons which connect to the Four Noble Truths from Socrates. The lessons promote great changes in Dan’s
Most monks and nuns abide the rules of the Vinaya-Pitaka, which is one of the three main Buddhist scriptures; its primary matter is the monastic rules for monks and nuns.
Five ethical principles are assumed in the Code, the first being dignity. Followed by, beneficence, autonomy, honesty, and justice. Nonmaleficence is a concept disguised throughout the Code, therefore, I will also discuss it when analyzing the Code’s ethical philosophies. Dignity means that each individual, whether patient or professional, should have their purposes, privacy, and behaviors treated uniquely and equally (Hamilton, 2011). Therefore, if a PT is to act with dignity, they must start out by showing respect to patients.
Just as some people may emphasize diversification in their stock portfolio, I highly value the role that diversity plays in my education, social life, and career aspirations. Throughout my educational experiences I have come to realize that I have varied interests in both the fields of, engineering and business. My interest in these two very different disciplines has allowed me to participate in activities involving technical knowledge, communication skills, and creative thinking. Through various extracurricular activities I have combined my business based aspirations with my technical engineering knowledge to interact with my local community and make a positive impact on the lives of young children.
The daily living that a Buddhist must follow are the five Buddhist Precepts. They are to refrain from intentionally causing the death of any living being i.e. insect, animals etc. Another, is purposely taking for one's own the possessions of another i.e. stealing and destroy. As well as sexual misconduct in particular adultery; Lying and breaking promises. Finally, drinking alcohol or taking stupefying drugs which lead to lack of mindfulness (Buddhism for beginner,
In “All Your Worth”, I think the 8 golden rules of money and relationships work well. Because the rules are to help people change their thoughts and give them some solutions to the financial problems. The 8 golden rule shows the solutions to the inherent problems of money and relationships, not just the surface ones. For the 3 keys to working with a partner who refuses to change, I think is a good way to treat others. If the partner is extremely stubborn, following the 3 keys could help you to get a better result.
The Five Precepts in the Context of The Eightfold Path Both 'The Five Precepts' and 'The Eightfold Path' are significant elements of the Buddhist religion. The precepts act as a guide for the average everyday lay Buddhist on how to create the least amount of karmic energy possible. It by no means is the way directly to reaching Nirvana. The Eightfold Path however, is known as "the way.
Buddhism first appeared in India between the 5th and 6th BCE and is considered to be one of the oldest practiced religion and philosophy. It is a way of life that is governed by a series of passages and countless rules. These passages and rules are meant to enable an individual to further their growth as an agent of transformations to reach the ultimate goal of enlightenment. Though Buddhism, as its original form, is a strict and non peruvious practice of life, it provides of practical outlook on life and how one should be with their environment. The first teaching or the first Dharma, dictated by Siddhartha Gautama, were the Four Noble Truths. Not only are the four noble truths the backbone of Buddhism and they help us understand the
When we think of risks and risky behaviors would do not usually associate it with children, but adolescence. Those behaviors did have to stem for somewhere. Most parents want their children to keep safe, but learning to take risks is a normal part of child development. The Norwegians emphasized the importance of risking taking can be beneficial for the overall development of children, when in a safe but challenging environment. (Sandseter, 2016). From a psychosocial/cognitive perspective, risky situations can offer potential rewards. Children’s play can often provide joy, excitement, fun, allowing them to actualize their potential by intrinsically motivated activities (Sandseter, 2016). If individuals start early building their intrinsic motivation,
This factual issue is often undisputed because the rule or standard is normally contained in the employer's disciplinary code. If the employee disputes knowledge of the rule or standard, it will be necessary for the employer to demonstrate that the employer made the code 'available to employees in a manner that is easily understood' see item 3(1) of the Code of Good Practice: Dismissal. If there is no code, Commissioners will consider evidence concerning past practices of which the employee was aware to determine whether the employee could reasonably be expected to have known of the rule or standard. 'Some rules or standards are so well established and known that it is unnecessary to communicate them' item 3(1) of the Code of Good Practice:
