In third century B.C.E the following vital occasion in the improvement of Buddhism was the meeting of a Buddhist friar and indian ruler named called Ashoka. It is the leader of substantial Mauryan domain in India, Ashoka had extended it until it secured cutting edge India. Be that as it may, he had turned out to be profoundly trubled by the carnage he brought about in this triumphs. Listening to the friar persuaded Ashoka to give himself to the quiet message of Buddhism. Ashoka raised thousand of rock columns everywhere on his Kingdom with the educating of the Buddha cut into them, the first composed proof we have of Buddhism.
Buddhism was appealing to women because of the view that they were equal to men. In detail, Wei Shou’s “Summary of Buddhist Doctrine” in the Buddhist Doctrines and Practices explains “Women who enter the path are called nuns...if they can comprehend the rewards for good and bad acts they can gradually climb to the level of sages...” (83). This review is important because it recognizes both men and women as equals who can both accomplish salvation. Furthermore, in the “Lives of Eminent Monks”, Tiaohua writes to Seng Du, who she was previously engaged to, for leaving her and the ancestral rites and teachings of Confucian society to become a monk. Seng Du responds to her, saying “Men and women of the world, however, should adapt themselves to the times...you should pursue what you desire and admire.

In document seven, Tang Emperor Wu declares that Buddhism “wears out the people’s strength, pilfers their wealth, causes people to abandon their lords and parents for the company of teachers, and serves man and wife with its monastic decrees” and that it causes a large strain on resources because workers are giving up their jobs. He goes on to state that Buddhist
Following the fall of the Han dynasty came the decline of practicers of the Confucian philosophy because of the downfall of the elite class and a centralized government. Buddhism, a religion with it’s roots from north India, has found its presence in China during the time when trade, along the silk roads, was crucial in all parts of Eurasia. Although the spread of Buddhism in China was greeted with devotion from new converts who supported the religion by spreading it and combining their cultures with the religion, it also was rejected by the ruling elite who opposed the spread of the religion that impacted China for the next following centuries.
Buddhism offered a comforting and stable option for all including aristocrats and upper-class citizens in times of
The introduction of Buddhism to China started off well, most openly accepted the foreign religion and it continued to thrive for centuries. Until the lack of an empire and laws plagued individuals minds. Other religions with a strong imperial structure, such as Confucianism, rose to support the growing number of negative minds. Buddhism was spread by Buddhist missionaries from India into China during the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD). It was, at first, confined to only the higher status individuals, like aristocrats and Chinese royalty.
Buddhism has extensively shaped Australian society, where diverse cultures can practice Buddhist teachings
“If Buddhism is the greatest and most venerable of ways, why did the great sages of the past and Confucius not practice it?” This is the person’s first question and the answer is “All written works need not necessarily be the words of Confucius. To compare the sages to the Buddha would be like comparing a white deer to a unicorn, or a swallow to a phoenix.” (Doc. three.) The next question about Buddhism contains the need and respect for family.
The religions of Confucianism and Daoism are alike because of the fact that they want peace and good behavior. Buddhists, on the other hand, strictly have the plan to reach Nirvana and follow The Four Noble Truths. The general goal of Confucian is different than Buddhism and Taoism because the general goal of the Confucius is to find a harmonious and peaceful place in life, while Buddhism and Taoism have no general goal. Daoism is not seen as a belief centered religion. Both Daoism and Confucianism originated from China.
Cherokees believed that when the wood of a tree is not in use that it be placed in a protective cloth, usually deerskin. That would keep the wood pure for the next ceremony. The number seven and four are sacred to the Cherokees. The number four represents the cardinal directions and the upper, lower, and center of the world. How everything around the earth is facing the sun.
There are many leaders throughout the world that are in charge of different things like small organizations and even countries. Some are fantastic leaders, and then others are substandard. Today's leaders and the future’s must learn from previous leaders’ mistakes to make their rule even better. There are many qualities a leader must posses to be an excellent and respected ruler. In Oedipus the King and Antigone, Oedipus and Creon, who are both kings from the play, rule with distinct leadership traits.
Buddhism instantly strikes the interest of nature and finding the underlying truth of it. In the 1950s, Buddhism is like a fresh breath of air being able to escape the life of the ordinary through communism and consumerism. Meanwhile escaping ordinary society,
The human condition has been studied by many different scholars, professors, and teachers. Each religion has different views and distinctive sets of beliefs about the human condition. For example; "Like other religious teachings, the Buddha’s teaching originates as a response to the strains at the heart of the human condition. What distinguishes his teaching from other religious approaches to the human condition is the directness, thoroughness, and uncompromising
It also became an agent of mental and practical liberation to the oppressed peoples and of economic development to the disadvantaged peoples. “Engaged Buddhism” is defined by the intention of Buddhists of whatever sect to apply the values and teachings of Buddhism, especially compassion and love, to the problems of society in a nonviolent way, and are motivated by concern for others’ welfare, and is served as a channel to express their own Buddhist practices. So, “Engaged Buddhism” is neither a new Buddhist sect nor does it belong to one of the established sects. This engagement is not detached from Buddhist spirituality, but it is a modern phenomenon to express their Buddhism spirits and values to the problems of society (King, The Social Ethics of Engaged Buddhism, 2005). On the other hand, the reason of emergence of “Engaged Buddhism” was similar to the third problem Taixu discovered as I mentioned above.
