Here is a story...
Read about it then give me a prediction of what advice a follower of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Daoism would give me.
Paul, a 22-year-old premedical student, leaves his local college and decides he doesn't want to be a doctor. He moves across the country to work as a ranger in a remote forest. He is happy working in the forest, cleaning trails, and caring for plants and trees. His parents, however, miss him and want him to return to college. What advice do you think a follower of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Daoism would give Paul?
1) A buddhist might tell Paul to...
2) A Confucianist might tell Paul to...
3) A Daoist might tell Paul to...
[todays class]
Out of these three options which do you want to do the next two days?
-Watch a video explaining why some countries are rich and other are poor.
-Take a quiz on the major religions of Asia. (This one needs to be done before Thanksgiving break so we don't make it harder be forgetting it all enjoying our time off. We can take the quiz today or tomorrow.)
-Learn about early Chinese civilization and how has a repeating cycle of prosperity/unhappiness/war/revolution/new leadership (and repeat).

A buddhist would tell Pual that life is suffering, and to deal with it he would follow what made him happy. That way, his suffering would be less.

ReplyDelete2) A Confucianist might tell Paul to... Do what your moral values tell you to do.
3) A Daoist might tell Paul to... Your life already has a plan, keep doing what you want to do, not what people think you should do.
The Buddhist would say if it fallows the 8 fold path then do it. A Confucianism would say if it leads to a good life. and a Daoism would say if it makes you happy, because you need to find happiness with in yourself.

1. A Buddhist would tell him to take whatever path that helps him reach enlightenment.
ReplyDelete2. A Confucianist would probably tell him to do whatever he thinks will be most helpful.
3. A Taoist would probably tell him to choose what path he thinks is right.
- A Confucianist would probably tell Paul to return to his older ways. A big part of Confucianism is respect for your family. So if Paul wanted to take that path he would return to college and become a doctor.
ReplyDelete- On the other hand, a Taoist might tell Paul to stay. If he is at peace doing what he is doing, then why should he change? Paul should see if there are forces trying to push him out of his current situation, and if there are, he should follow those forces in order to achieve harmony with the universe.
- What would a Buddhist say? Well if Paul is at peace where he is, then he should probably stay. A forest would be a fantastic place to meditate. Also, the forest could keep paul away from all of the luxuries of “civilization”; things that can lead to suffering. If Paul lives a barebones life, much like Siddhartha Gautama himself, then there is a greater chance that he can escape the cycle of suffering and rebirth.
-A buddist might tell Paul to do what is best for the country and the people around him.
ReplyDelete-A Confucianist might tell paul No matter what paul will choose to do but he needs to obey his elder.
-A Daoist might tell paul to take care of the nature.
1) A Buddhist might tell Paul to go back and be a doctor because it would be a good job and give him good Karma.
