Book Review: “Pointers to Insight” by Soko Morinaga Roshi

It was some time in 100 AD that Mahayana Buddhism of India began to enter China through the merchants that travelled the sea through the Silk Road towards the land of India (Andreasen 5). Three mainstreams began to take form (i.e., Ch’an Buddhism, Cheng-yen Buddhism, and Pure Land Buddhism), as it emphasized how human beings had had the ability to free themselves through meditation. By 500 AD, Ch’an Buddhism reached the shores of Japan, where it was called Zen Buddhism—using the word Zen to mean meditation (Andreasen 6). Thus, Buddhism in Japan became well developed by ...

My Personal Theory of How Personality Is Developed

It is a common fact that personality is considered to be possessed by all people in this or that way. How people tend to think, behave and feel and what causes individuals to have these tendencies are the questions addressed by personality study and research.
If developmental psychology and social psychology have merged as a subject matter in psychology, personality has never really found that unity. There has never been a fundamentally acceptable and precise definition as to what personality truly is.
These aspects have not prevented personality from being one of the most argued subjects of psychological research and ...

Rene Descartes is a French philosopher and mathematician of the XVI century, considered as a father of modern philosophy. He defined an opening point of existence and he is an author of well-known dictum “Cogito ergo sum” that means “I think; therefore I am.” He was influenced by Plato, Aristotle, Anselm and Thomas Aquinas.
Descartes’s famous proofs of God’s existence are based on the system of personal experience and the “I” conception but in his speculations, it was not a person that have a conversation with God but the idea of the human “I” as a thinking ...

Literature

In this essay, we will analyze the life and views of two prominent American figures Jonathan Edwards and Benjamin Franklin. Despite the fact that they live in the same time period they have completely different lifestyles and views. They both tried to come up to perfection and did it in their own particular way. This is the main question of the essay. The comparison of two views will be presented with the help of the analysis of Jonathan Edwards’ works ‘Resolutions’, ‘Personal Narrative’ and Benjamin Franklin’s ‘Poor Richard’s Almanacks’. In the analysis, the comparison of their views ...

In terms of both our vocations and hobbies, we often aspire to become great. What happens, however, when this very desire consumes and overtakes us? The 2010 film "Black Swam" starring Natalie Portman as a high-profile ballet dancer, shows its viewers that unchecked ambition can be a dangerous and ultimately deadly thing. This message is achieved primarily through the film's use of detail-heavy camerawork, its character depiction, and its embrace of magical realism and distortions of reality. The main character Nina loses her identity, herself to become perfect and on this way to the culmination of her transformation she ...

It seems that there is no philosophy more vulnerable to external, rational criticism, than the philosophy of Descartes. The literary form of his works is nothing short of doubt. For example, his main work "Discourse on Method” is rather a fiction than a philosophical treatise; or I’d rather say, it’s a kind of notes about his life: experience, thoughts, or feelings. Moreover, they are difficult to reconcile in a single work. However, Descartes manages to question absolutely everything in the world in dozens of pages under the same title, then to find a way out of this, ...

Discourse On Method Part IV

In part IV of Descartes' Discourse, Descartes continues his quest for knowledge of truth. In this particular section, Descartes focuses his discussion primarily on how to determine what we know with certainty to be true. Here, Descartes introduces his infamous method. Systematically he doubts everything and, afterwards, tries to see if anything remains that can be known with certainty.
Descartes embarks in his journey by taking a reverse approach from earlier parts of the Discourse. In Part IV, he writes that he will doubt all knowledge that comes from the senses, with the observation that we can wrongfully interpret ...

For Huawei, ‘Ballet’ Is the New Cliché

BALLET promotes hard work, passion, commitment, and perfection. So does Huawei.
At least that is what Huawei’s advertising campaign wants you to believe. Although some critics, including company insiders, don’t quite see it that way. They found the advertisement far from uplifting.

But other marketing and product insiders explain the communication and marketing tactics behind their successful advertisement.

Huawei, established in 1987 by Ren Zhengfei, is the largest telecommunications equipment manufacturer in the world. According to The Economist, it overtook Ericsson in 2012. Moreover, it has entered 57 international markets in just six months (PTI, 2015). With impressive results, the company became the first Chinese company ...

Introduction

In the “Critique of Judgment” Kant explores the reflective power of judgment which is manifested, in particular, in the judgment of taste or aesthetic judgments.

Kant stated that although ...

Utility and sub game perfection

Ultimatum Game is an appropriate paradigm that investigates the discord between social motives like fairness and self-interest. UG bases on the assumption that bargainers maximize their outcome. The acceptance of the smallest offer can yield high outcomes and the alternative of refusing means no outcome at all. The social utility model implies that the utility of the outcome depends on both payoffs. The study aims to identify factors that can affect the relative importance in making UG.
A strong reciprocity model in the evolution of human cooperation gains acceptance because of support and experimental findings. An observation that unfair ...

According to a recent scholarly opinion, Buddha sometimes lived between fifth and forth century BCE. But there are several controversial views on the exact birth of Buddha. The author gives a thorough review of the ancient Indian social system. Sanskrit was the prominent language, and the society was divided into different segments, what we can call a social hierarchy. On the apex of the hierarchy was priest or Brahmans. ‘The priests, or brahmanas (anglicized as “Brahmins”) occupied an elite position in this early, village-based society’ (Berkwitz 14) While telling the reason of the highest position of Brahmin Berkwitz (p.14) states, ‘they were ...

In this day and age, humanity is rubbed raw of cynicism. The information age is taking our world to greater heights and banishes all mysteries left in the world—and in such haste. In the mad rat race, people have grown weary and look at our reality as a dull brick wall devoid of any meaning and wonder. Once upon a time, the horizon promised exotic islands, unseen civilizations, treasures waiting to be unearthed. The only place where these seem to exist are places of fiction and fantasy. So where does a writer of literary realism such as John Updike belong, if ...

The nature of the individual’s spiritual essence, or soul, lies at the heart of Hinduism, as it does with many other religions. This core belief presupposes a journey of transcendence, of transformation, that ultimately brings the soul to spiritual perfection, or moksha. The idea of the soul is intrinsic to faith traditions like Hinduism, which teaches that the atman merges with the great universal soul, or Brahman. But for Buddhists, the eternal journey of the soul, or samsara, is part and parcel of a burdensome, cyclical physical existence (Sion, 246). The abandonment of such strivings and of worldly encumbrances can ...

Tom Rath wrote a book “Strengths Finder 2.0” to guide people in identifying their personal strengths and capabilities.

I have read the book that is interesting and attractive for developing personal skills and knowledge.

The presence and existence of God is seen in our daily lives through the practices and the relevant undertaking that we pass through without knowledge of how successfully they pass. To be aware of God, however, implies that one is certain of the belief in His dominical that surrounds every human being, and in everything that is in the universe. McCloskey in his article, “On Being Atheist” attempts to provide proof that the existence of God is not true; with various claims why atheism is a much easier concept to understand compared to theism (McCloskey, 1968). However, ...

The concept of “terrible perfection” developed by Barbara Heldt describes the womanhood depicted in the Russian literature. According to the scientist, heroines were mainly idealized and shown as an overall female image, including the notion of the Mother Russia. Thus, men were unable to meet their criteria and this mismatch led to the unhappy endings in many works by Russian authors. Moreover, Heldt states that males and females are described in a completely different ways as men’s worldview is based on ideas, and women are driven by their feelings. Therefore, they cannot reach the agreement but they complement ...

Writing can’t ever be transparent for the simple fact that it gives people a chance to acknowledge where their strengths and weaknesses lie in writing whether it’s technical writing or just non-technical writing. The concept of non-transparent writing can’t really exist because writing can never be transparent or non-transparent enough to the point where people are choosing to not do it because it’s too hard to be a writer. Another reason why writing can’t be transparent is because there are some people who use writing to do the things they love like making an honest living, ...

Parenting is a process that contributes to the physical, intellectual, social and emotional development of a child and determines how a child is going to evolve as an adult. Parenting style varies from one parent to another. Based on the style of rearing up children, parenting is divided into four styles; authoritative, authoritarian, permissive and uninvolved (Christopher Spera).

He states that humanity is near the beginning of the golden age of the branch of science.

Religion and sports have a long history that has lasted through millenniums. Sometimes the two old acquaintances have worked together, and sometimes they have been in conflict, but they have retained some form of connection. Wherever one of the two exists, there are at least small vestiges of the other. Even in the highest forms and levels of sports there lurks religion, just as the competition of sorts always appears even in the highest levels of the church. Given the long history that the two have shared, it is only natural to conclude that religion continues to shape the ...

Scriptural Interpretation Essay

For my scriptural essay, I chose a passage Luke 6:27-36 (On Love of One’s Enemies), which is also called the law of love. In this passage, Jesus enjoins people to love their neighbor, even if he is an enemy. Also, here it is explained in what this love is manifested.

To achieve this, we have a five-step plan of action. We intend to specify our value, which can only be defined by our ultimate customer and not the experts, the engineers nor the pre-existing organizations who would only add complexities of ...

It is a common norm for scientists to use “proofs” to describe the reasoning for various things. Scientists make use of these proofs to explain why something happens. For instance, geologists believe that the earth possesses an electromagnetic field that acts as a protector against destructive solar winds. These geologists have never really witnessed or seen this field, yet they strongly believe it to be the most plausible explanation of why the earth is protected from destructive solar winds. This analogy is comparable to the use of ‘proofs” by Christians to make strong arguments about God’s existence. When the proofs are ...

The belief in some sort of divine bequest is the basis on which James argues, likely as other rulers had, that monarchy is the form of government which, "approacheth nearest to perfection, as all the learned and wise men from the beginning have agreed upon; Unitie being the perfection of all things."
A strong monarchy is able to quash the destruction and chaos of rebellions before they are started. It is of course, over-lorded by a divine right monarch and this form of government uses its latticework of religious principles and political machinations to dictate, and control, a people. This ...

The parable of the butcher provides a very simple story on how a butcher has earned mastery of his craft that significantly offers a good moral story.

The five adverts selected for the purposes of this paper primarily appeal to a sense of machismo (sexual desirability) as well as affiliation associated with the use of the respective products. According to Fowles (1998), the appeal to sex comes through in a subtle manner, which in turn makes the audience not feel as if it is being manipulated into buying the product, coupled by fact that explicit reference to sex risks obliterating the product information. According to Fowles (1998, p. 1), “there is always the danger that as in the case of sex, if the appeal is too blatant public ...

A first look at nature shows us the existence of corporeal substances and the universal presence of change. We see that all bodily substances, whether living or not, are subject to generation and corruption. Every change has a starting point and a terminal point. As regards substantial changes, the terminal point is what determines its nature. Aristotle calls this terminal point as the form, understood not in the geometric sense, but as that, which determines the nature of the substance. The substantial form is the reality or perfection produced in any substantial change. Aside from the form, a substrate is also necessary ...

Introduction -

Thomas Aquinas posited five proofs for the existence of God in his Summa Theologica, one of the most influential theological philosophy treatises in history. For Aquinas, one need not look beyond the evidence of the natural world to find reasons to believe in God, a presence without which motion, natural design or physical existence itself would be impossible. Aquinas sought to modify many of the rational systems that had been in place for centuries, such as the arguments attributed to Anselm. In his way, Aquinas tried to resolve the mystery of faith with a growing desire to introduce some notion of ...

Society’s Obsession with Appearance

One of the biggest problems in modern society is our obsession with our appearance the ensuing consequences. It is a combination of celebrity fascination, the constant supply of images of ‘perfection’ from the mass media, and the pressurized demand of looking attractive in terms of the standards and expectations which are laid down by society at large. The effect of this is an intense pressure placed upon people to look pristine and perfect, as defined by an unreasonable and demanding media. This is particularly noticeable in women with the view being that young girls’ self-esteem begins to deplete from the ...

The products and services provided in hotels, as a rule, are standard, but sometimes depending on the appointment of a hotel (business, rest) they can have specific nature. For me, the hotel is not just the place for a lodging for the night. It is the temporary house. The house in which everything is brought to perfection. And the most pleasant is that this perfection is not created by me. It isn't necessary to clean, bring things to the order. You can relax, you can behave more freely, it is possible to count on an invisible hand which will ...

Writings on Hinduism have been remarkably expanded in the past decade by anthropological research which focuses on the real nature of religious practices, including the underlying philosophy, and examines the setting or environment as well as the written literature. Edward Harper, in his article Ritual Pollution as an Integrator of Caste and Religion (1964), vividly showed that the hierarchical relationship of the concepts of 'purity' and 'pollution', which are the foundational elements of caste, is based on a paradigm of society wherein different groups are brought together by the common pursuit of religion or rituals for the gods.
