...urges. The existence of suffering is the First Noble Truth taught by the Buddha, and the causes of suffering are the second. Through self-enlightenment, one has the ability to reach the ultimate goal of nirvana; immunity, liberation, and a life free from suffering. Christianity teaches that each human has only a single life on earth, but faces an eternal life in Heaven or Hell. Where a person will spend eternity is determined by Jesus Christ, who administers the Final Judgment based a person’s actions and beliefs while on Earth. If deemed worthy of Heaven, one lives a life of eternal happiness free of suffering. Otherwise, one is subjected to eternal suffering in Hell. To differing degrees, society will always subject a person to suffering. Siddhartha and Jesus both recognized this at an early age, and both offered means for one to reduce suffering; prayer, meditation, mindful walking, reflection, etc. Buddha said to look deeply into the nature of suffering to see the causes of suffering and the way out. Followers of both Buddhism and Christianity can...

...Philosophy is a vast subject that not only gives person knowledge about important perspectives in different societies but also a deeper and meaningful understanding of how the world around us works. Using the knowledge from this class, I am taking Buddhism and relating it with one of the most popular site for tourists in Oahu, Hawaii, the Byodo-In Temple. The temple, as I see it, stands as an icon for what Hawaii is and what the idea of Buddhism has to do in Hawaii. The temple maybe a religious site for those who follow Buddhism, or the ones who would like to view it from a religious point of view. But more importantly, it stands as a living proof of the influences of the immigrants in Hawaii and what religious philosophies they brought along with them when they came in, or what they give importance to. Also, another perspective is how Hawaii wants to structure itself with the potential of income from Japanese tourists, given that Byodo-In Temple is a beautiful imitation of temple in Japan. Having been born in Nepal, where about one third of the populations follow Buddhism, I was always interested in knowing the cultural and the key philosophical concepts of Buddhism. As with every other thing, Buddhism too has its own philosophical concepts and understandings. Buddhism, which was first spread by Gautama Buddha, has philosophical concepts and understandings to explain as to why it was started, and what Buddhism tries to convey. The primary concept of Buddhism-- Enlightenment...

...ADVENTIST HOME by Ellen G. White SECTION III: Choosing the Life Partner Chap. Six - The Great Decision A Happy or Unhappy Marriage?—If those who are contemplating marriage would not have miserable, unhappy reflections after marriage, they must make it a subject of serious, earnest reflection now. This step taken unwisely is one of the most effective means of ruining the usefulness of young men and women. Life becomes a burden, a curse. No one can so effectually ruin a woman’s happiness and usefulness, and make life a heartsickening burden, as her own husband; and no one can do one hundredth part as much to chill the hopes and aspirations of a man, to paralyze his energies and ruin his influence and prospects, as his own wife. It is from the marriage hour that many men and women date their success or failure in this life, and their hopes of the future life. {AH 43.1} I wish I could make the youth see and feel their danger, especially the danger of making unhappy marriages. {AH 43.2} Marriage is something that will influence and affect your life both in this world and in the world to come. A sincere Christian will not advance his plans in this direction without the knowledge that God approves his course. He will not want to choose for himself, but will feel that God must choose for him. We are not to please ourselves, for Christ pleased not Himself. I would not be understood to mean that anyone is to marry one whom he does not love. This would be sin. But fancy and the emotional...

...PROSSIONAL PRESENCE AND INFLUCENCE Differences of models of health and healing: Body-Mind-Spirit/Bio-psycho-social Model Religion and spirituality are components of any cultural system which is difficult to clearly separate culture form religion and spirituality as it is practiced in everyday life. For some it is like the air they breathe while others profess no real sense of religion or spirituality in their lives. Religious and spiritual beliefs are often part of concepts related to etiology, treatment and prevention of ill health. The relationship between spirituality, religion, healing, and healers was very close. It is like a process of reconciliation led by popular demand rather than by either the religious or medical fields. This model discuss about the relationship between spirituality, religion and health that has grown enormously over the last several decades, and has gain more interest among health and mental health professionals. Religion and spirituality can play a role in how an individual child or adult copes with being sick, may influence medical decisions that are made, and may have an impact on the medical outcome. The bio-psycho-social model of medicine, is a way of looking at the mind and body of a patient as two important systems that are interlinked and it is like a mind-body connection. This is in contrast to the traditional biomedical model of medicine. This model treats the biological, psychological and social issues as systems of the body...

...The Crossing By Todd Schwartz Donna Beegle ’90 is from a country that should not exist — a country she now battles every day. She needs your help. T here are 37 million people in the country where Donna Beegle was born and raised. Thirteen million of those are children. There are eight million families. The topography of her nation ranges from bucolic rural areas to teeming cities. The borders shift endlessly. The ground itself can suddenly fall away from beneath people, families, homes. In the unusual instances when someone leaves this country for good, they often claim it never existed. There is much love and strength there, but happiness is harder to come by. Seen on a map, her nation is shaped much like the United States, although it is made up of pockets and backwaters and segments — as though an image of the U.S. had been cut from steel and allowed to slowly rust away. An ocean, narrow but deep, separates the land of Beegle’s birth from the country where she now lives. The citizens of her land are not on good terms with those in our America, nor have they been for some time. As far back as the 19th century, British prime minister Benjamin Disraeli described the countries as “two nations, between whom there is no intercourse and no sympathy, who are as ignorant of each other’s habits, thoughts and feelings, as if they were ... inhabitants of different planets.” Born in 1961, Beegle traveled across her homeland for 25 years before she braved the difficult and perilous crossing...

...Abstract Being a good manager is more difficult now than it ever has been. The corporate environment has changed dramatically over the past decade. Companies are more global and the employee culture is more diverse than ever before. Organizational structures are less bureaucratic more collaborative (Brown, nd). Today’s companies are full of technological distractions that would have been unimaginable to the 20th-century. The goal of a good manager is to achieve excellent results through planning, organizing, leading, and controlling (Jones and George, 2011). Managers are key elements as they are the ones who handle the most difficult company resource; people. An effective manager needs three kinds of skills, conceptual, human, and technical to help the organization perform more efficiently and effectively. All three skills can be learned by developing certain characteristics or personal traits. Traits such as having a clear vision, learning to delegate work, opening communication, spending time in developing skills, providing continuous feedback, rewarding employees, enjoying what you do, educating more, solid organizational skills, employing excellent ethics behavior, and being a great mentor and motivator. Along personal traits a manager needs to understand environmental factors that strongly influence modern organizations that are important to the company’s success. Parallel to these traits and environmental forces management’s approach has changed. Managers started...

This book contains proven steps and strategies on how to improve your memory with NLP. Do you have a hard time remembering things and aren’t sure why? There could be a lot of reasons for memory loss, but a lot of times it comes from simply being so harried and stressed that it makes it nearly impossible to concentrate and focus on what you need to in order to create the memory path required. There are also many times that we limit ourselves in our beliefs as to what our abilities and capacities are to remember things. If you truly believe that you can’t remember things, you won’t. Does that sound too simple? How many times have you told yourself that you can’t remember a grocery list, or you KNOW you’ll forget names and you do? Next...
