Eastern Religious Philosophy Quotes

The first quotation that I would like to discuss is Buddhism Siddhartha Gautama. Siddhartha was a great figure because one day on a trip to the city, he discovered that many people with in the city were suffering. He treasured to know why people had suffered that way they did so he chose to leave his life of luxury, abandon his family and live in the woods as one of them for some(prenominal) years. When doing he so he came to the conclusion that suffering can be avoided. He explains that ignorance and selfishness causes suffering.Suffering is in part with Karma which means action or exertion, karma reflects in the later life through the actions or deeds make right now. Quote All wrong-doing arises because of mind. If mind is transformed can wrong-doing remain? I like this quote because a somebody does have a choice to miscellanea their selfish shipway, by understanding how it affects people, and how ignorance and selfishness can be locked away for good through cleansing of th e mind. Lao Tzu- To know that you do not know is the best.To pretend to know when you do not know is a disease. He believed that level off the wisest if humans is still ignorant, and this quote show some reflection on that thought process. Tzu was very interested in how we should live ad different ways that a good society is governed. The quote reminds us that we can always be open to learning and discovering even when we think we have mastered something some other thing that I would like to add is that Tzu believed that all enduring change is brought by weakness and not by strength by submission and not intervention.I feel that this means people bring about change on themselves. Selfishness and ignorance can blind us and we eventually have to submit to change. thither were three great systems of thought dominate Chinese civilization Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. The predominant system is the one founded by Confucius. He loved to learn and sought a better way and order of do ing things. He believed that learning and knowledge must in a way be practical. Confucius What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to othersConfucius taught that to establish ones own humane character was important and could be done by following imperative role models from the past. People can always better themselves through learning and servicing others. It makes sense that a man who believes these principles would quote such a simplistic, in time profound statement. I chose this quote because it makes a huge point. I feel that this quote is related to karma in a way. I say this because things that a person does to another, can be done right back to them now or in the future.Mencius Seek and you will find, neglect and you will lose it According to Mencius, he believed that the natural goodness of humans was perverted by circumstances. On the other hand he still believed that a person still had time to change their ways. He felt that every person had the potential to set aside the selfish ways, but in order to change they have to recover the baffled mind and the forgotten heart. It is a matter of thinking naturally and following intuition and conscience.
