The Four Nobles In Hinduism

The next theme is Non-desiring. In chapter seven, it talks about if you want something it will not last forever. But if you are selfless and realize that you need to put yourself first, then you are in a state of Non-desiring. It also talks about Non-desiring in chapter nineteen. In the chapter is says if we eliminate certain actions, then we will receive better out comes. If you do not do anything bad, then there could not possible be any bad to come.

The Second Noble Truth -- the Truth of Arising (samudāya) -- explains that suffering arises from craving or 'thirst'” (Keown, 47) When we have a charming feeling we get to be greedy and need a greater amount of it. When we have a repulsive feeling we get to be furious and push it away. When we don't have sentiments of delight or pain we quit paying consideration on life and fall into delusion. Why do we react to pleasure, pain and neutral feelings with greed, hatred and delusion? We react this way because of ignorance. We don't know have the slightest idea that everything in the world is impermanent, flawed and without a different self. Craving never works because the things that we pursue blur away. When we don't get what we want we respond with outrage or withdraw into

The core beliefs of Hinduism is Kharma, reincarnation, and Dharma. Kharma is the idea that whatever one does during their life will translate back onto themselves, similar to when Jesus says do onto others as you would have them do onto you. Or in other words treat others the way you would want to be treated. Reincarnation is basically the rebirth of someone’s soul in a new form or body. Christianity does not seem to have something similar to this but one could argue that Jesus reincarnated because he became a new version of himself compared to his past. Jesus could have also been reincarnated as God himself so that the divine could be made visible in human form for all to see, according to the Gospel of John. Dharma is the idea that there is an order that makes life and the universe possible, which includes ones duties, rights, laws, conduct, virtues and the right way of living. I believe this could be similar to Christianity in the sense of the Ten Commandments. These commandments are rules and laws that Christianity uses to judge right from wrong.

Our ability to prosper and be content is totally needy upon our own characters, how we arrange ourselves to ourselves, to others, and to occasions by and large (Dobbin, 2008). What qualities our characters come to have is totally up to us. Subsequently, how well we prosper is likewise altogether up to us. In addition, he says that we can only achieve this by identifying those things that are within our power as well as those that are not within our power. What is in our power, then, is the 'power over ourselves' that we have with respect to our ability to judge what is great and what is abhorrent. Outside our energy are 'external things', which are "detached" as for being great or malicious. These indifferents, number those things that are expectedly regarded to be great and those that are traditionally esteemed to be awful. Generally, they are things that 'simply happen', and they are not in our energy as in we don't have outright control to make them happen pretty much as we wish, or to make them have precisely the results that we fancy (Dobbin, 2008). We an therefore only achieve happiness by adjusting our attitude towards life. Learning to love what we get even when it's not what we wanted in the first place helps us prevent frustration in

The second Noble Truth is that suffering itself has a cause. At the simplest level, this may be said to be desire; but the theory was fully worked out in the complex doctrine of "dependent origination," or pratityasamutpada, which explains the interrelationship of all reality in terms of an unbroken chain of causation (Conze).

Many of the core beliefs of Hinduism have evolved over time, with some becoming increasingly clearer, and others going from merely an idea into full-fledged beliefs. Karma, Dharma, and the theory of Samsara and moksha are the core beliefs that almost all who define themselves as a practicer of Hinduism would accept. The belief of karma started out in the Early Vedic period merely as “ritualistic action or labor”. It transformed into a “moral law” that incorporated the idea that all actions have fruits, whether good or bad. “Action, which springs from the mind, from speech, and from the body, produces either good or evil results”. This concept of a "law of karma" where good actions yield good results, and bad in bad, extends from the Vedic idea of consequential action from the confines of the ritual to everyday life.

There are many unfair things in this world. Some people are born rich and live in luxury, while some people are born into a poor life that people are suffering. All of us may live in a different life, but we also have one common thing before that. We are all born into this world to live once and we die when the time comes. While living our lives, we all taste contentment and depression. In this process, we sometimes meet moment of enlightenment and life can change in an instant.

Interestingly enough, this noble truth teaches that there are two causes of suffering: greed and desire. Because people like to accumulate wealth to impress others, there's a combination of greediness that encourages them to think about their own gain. The desire to impress others ends up choking them alive. In today's materialistic society, it's all about what a person has, how much they can afford and how much more they have than someone else. Ironically, even the person who "has it all" is never satisfied.

For example, he was seen as having the personality of Vishnu the creator, Shiva the protector, and Brahma the creator. Although, overtime Brahma faded into history while a great Mother Goddess grew in importance. Furthermore, Hindu’s are free from choosing who they worship and free from choosing how they accomplish Moksha. These are the path of right thinking, the path of right action, or the path of religious devotion. On the other hand, many hindus have four goals in human life. One of hindus goals is Dharma which is the duties or deeds that a person is expected to perform, which vary and depend upon the person's social standing / caste. Secondly, Artha the pursuit of material gain by lawful means. Thirdly, is a Moksha release from the cycle of rebirth (reincarnation/samsara). Last but not least, Karma the belief that the results of a person's actions in this and previous states of existence affect his or her fate in future existences. Vedas is the hinduism holy book which can’t be traced back to a single founder. Also, ahimsa; the principle of Hindus in which a person should do no harm to living things is one of their religious practices. Therefore, Hindus have set themselves as vegetarians to prevent harm or damage.

Hinduism is a combination of religion, culture, and philosophy that saw its beginnings in India (Molloy, 2009). Followers of Hinduism have a strong belief in a cycle of reincarnations, virtue, and karma. Unlike other belief systems, followers of Hinduism are not held to a particular set of beliefs. They live a particular way of life that governs all that they do and is governed by their own traditions, ethics, philosophy and theology. Within the Hindu faith there are several themes that govern their way of life and are all related in one way to each other. The prominent themes in the Hindu faith are karma, moksha, samsara, Brahman and yoga. Of these themes, samsara stands out the most to me as the most essential of the Hinduism themes and is also one of the most prominent themes for all religions that originate from

The search for happiness through obtaining desires may not lead to the hopeful outcome because the results may stray the individual to an unintended path because desires are exotic and distant in knowledge to the individual.

The second Noble Truth is that the origin of suffering is attachment to worldly desires.

Dissimilar to Christianity, Hinduism is portrayed as a family of beliefs. “Hinduism unites the worship of many gods with a belief in a single divine reality” (Molloy, 75). Hinduism can be compared to that of the Ganga Ma, a significant river in the Indian culture. Comparing it with the river saying that it flows and gains momentum. The Hindus have four very important life goals; kama or pleasure, artha or economic security, dharma or social and religious duty, and moksha or complete freedom. While Hinduism consist of more than one god, individuals tend to focus on a particular god. Three gods are particularly central in the life of Hinduism. The three gods, Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, represent creation, preservation, and destruction. (Molloy, 75).

Hinduism is the major religion of India and is monism. It is defined as “uniting the worship of many Gods with a belief in a single divine reality.” (Molloy, 2015, p.75). “Hinduism is not a single, undefined religion; it is more like a family or beliefs” (Molloy, 2015, p.75). Hinduism is a religion where it is not as structured or has a lot of rules as catholic or baptist. I like it because it is most based off of a way of living your life to reach the ultimate destination. Which is the “path of desire” pleasure and success to achieve them you must maintain the fundamental rules of life they are the 5 principles; 1. God Exists: One Absolute OM. One Trinity: Brahma, Vishnu, Maheshwara (Shiva) Several divine forms, 2. All human beings are divine, 3. Unity of existence through love, 4. Religious harmony, and 5. Knowledge of 3 Gs: Ganga (sacred river), Gita (sacred script), Gayatri (sacred mantra). And the 10 disciplines 1. Satya (Truth), 2. Ahimsa (Non-violence), 3. Brahmacharya (Celibacy, non-adultery), 4. Asteya (No desire to possess or steal), 5. Aparighara (Non-corrupt), 6. Shaucha (Cleanliness), 7. Santosh (Contentment), 8. Swadhyaya (Reading of scriptures), 9. Tapas (Austerity, perseverance, penance) 10. Ishwarpranidhan (Regular prayers). (#######) “Hinduism has no identifiable founder, no strong organizational structure to defend it and spread its influence.” (Molloy, 2015, p.75). It originates from 1,0000 B.C. and the scripture that is mostly used is the Vedas, it

Attitudes towards the boon exhibit the dual nature of the hero and the community, reflecting the enlightenment gleaned by the hero and lacking in the common person. As the story of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight progresses, Gawain experiences challenges and, through these challenges, becomes enlightened while those in Camelot continue normal life and do not get the opportunity to gain such insight. In this comparison, the reader can comprehend the difference between the hero and the common person.
