3 discussions for 3 courses week 3

REL 212: World Religions:

Having grown up in wealth and then living a life of extreme asceticism, The Buddha found no peace. He arrived at a Middle Way and for his Dharma he proposed the 4 Noble Truths and the 8-Fold Path. (pp. 142-148). This would break the samsara cycle and produce nirvana. The challenge is putting The Buddha’s Dharma into action.

Discussion question: Theravada Buddhism is about mindfulness and meditation. Mahayana Buddhism is about compassion guided by wisdom.

1) Discuss how either Theravada or Mahayana Buddhism can apply the principles of the 8-Fold Path to daily living.

2) Which system would you choose to live by? Why?
