reflect upon in your journal
1. Look through the module and find one of the questions that you are asked to reflect upon in your journal. In each module (except for the first and last ones) there are several journal questions embedded in the narrative. They are going to be on different pages of the module. Find one you’d like to focus on and put it at the top of your journal page. This is worth 5 points.
2. Look in the book and find some quotes from the author which are relevant to the question you have chosen. Including a quote or quotes from the book is worth another 5 points.
3. Think of some examples from your life, or of some personal thoughts you have that are relevant to the question from the module and the quotes you have chosen. Including your thoughts is worth 5 points.
4. Now, put all of those together in a coherent reflection in which you create an answer to the journal question in which you synthesize the quotes from the book that relate to the topic of the question and your own personal experiences and thoughts. Write this up with proper grammar and decent organization. Grammar and organization is worth another 5 points.
Journals should be about 500 words long.
The book that is being referred to is The Worlds Religions By Huston Smith
Hinduism also says attachment to impermanent things causes suffering. Is what the Buddha says any different? Do you agree with the first two Noble Truths? Why or why not? Consider these questions as you read and for your journal.
Take a few minutes and reflect for your journal: Do you see how attachment to changing, impermanent, empty realities leads to suffering? Think about American society and its culture. Or you might think of the entertainment industry and
celebrity culture. Can you imagine this process operating in the world? Select
several events or other items that illustrate these truths. Or if you disagree
with Buddhism’s analysis here, explain why.
As you read, pay close attention to the differences between Theravada and Mahayana Buddhism. Look for these differences: (1) Arhat vs. Boddhisattva; (2) Detachment vs. Compassion; (2) Emptiness of Self vs. Emptiness of all things. Consider these for potential journaling topics.
