Basics of Buddhism The Four Noble Truths The Four Noble Truths comprise the essence of Buddha's teachings, though they leave much left unexplained. They are the truth of suffering, the truth of the cause of suffering, the truth of the end of suffering, and the truth of the path that leads to the end of suffering. More simply put, suffering exists; it has a cause; it has an end; and it has a cause to bring about its end. The notion of suffering is not intended to convey a negative world view, but rather, a pragmatic perspective that deals with the world as it is, and attempts to rectify it. The concept of pleasure is not denied, but acknowledged as fleeting. The Four Noble Truths are a contingency plan for dealing with the suffering humanity faces -- suffering of a physical kind, or of a mental nature. The Third Noble Truth, the truth of the end of suffering, has dual meaning, suggesting either the end of suffering in this life, on earth, or in the spiritual life, through achieving Nirvana.

The young 14th Dalai Lama through old photographs, 1935-1959 - Rare Historical Photos Religions - Christianity: Jesus El Calendario Islámico El Calendario Islámico El calendario Islámico es un calendario lunar, donde los años se componen de 12 meses lunares y forman ciclos de 30 años, durante los cuales los años 2-5-7-10-13-16-18-21-24-26 y 29 son bisiestos. Los años tienen 354 días y los bisiestos 355, agregándose el día adicional al último mes del año. Todos los meses tienen una duración de 30 y 29 días de manera alternada. El nombre original de estos meses no coincide en muchos casos con la realidad, debido a que no hay un sistema para mantener los meses en la misma estación del año con respecto al sol. El cómputo en la era musulmana comenzó con el gran acontecimiento de la Hégira de la Mecca a Medina, es decir, de la emigración del Profeta Muhammad (saw) y sus compañeros desde la Mecca hasta Medina. Durante el año, hay ciertas fechas que el musulman debe conmemorar: Muharram: Este es el primer mes del año Islámico y se conmemora la Hégira. Shabán: Es el octavo mes, uno antes de Ramadán.
Virgin of the Rocks: A subversive message hidden by Da Vinci - BBC Culture Over the ensuing years, the perplexing presence of “oysters and corals and various other shells and sea snails” on “the high summits of mountains”, far from the sea, worried away at the artist’s imagination. For Leonardo, the accepted explanation by ecclesiastical scholars of a great flood, such as that described in the Old Testament, for the relocation of these shells, didn’t wash. These creatures weren’t thrown there. They were born there. Seashells in mountains were proof, Leonardo came to believe and confided to his journal, that Alpine peaks were once the floors of seas. Fossils and flora We know from a remark Leonardo makes in his notebooks that the riddle of seashells cropping up incongruously on mountaintops was fresh in his mind just prior to his undertaking work on the first version of the Virgin of the Rocks in 1483.
Religious pluralism Religious pluralism is an attitude or policy regarding the diversity of religious belief systems co-existing in society. It can indicate one or more of the following: As the name of the worldview according to which one's religion is not the sole and exclusive source of truth, and thus the acknowledgement that at least some truths and true values exist in other religions.As acceptance of the concept that two or more religions with mutually exclusive truth claims are equally valid. This may be considered a form of either toleration (a concept that arose as a result of the European wars of religion) or moral relativism.The understanding that the exclusive claims of different religions turn out, upon closer examination, to be variations of universal truths that have been taught since time immemorial. Definition and scope[edit] Religious pluralism, to paraphrase the title of a recent academic work, goes beyond mere toleration. History[edit] Bahá'í Faith[edit] Buddhism[edit] Christianity[edit]
Filosofia Arabe Medieval en España Averroes y Maimonides Pensamiento Inicio » Curiosidades » Filosofia Arabe Medieval en España Averroes y Maimonides Pensamiento La cultura judía y la cultura musulmana había florecido juntas en la España de los califas. Dos sabios, Maimónides, judío, y Averroes, musulmán, nacieron casi al mismo tiempo, en Córdoba, en el siglo doce, y fueron caminantes de los mismos caminos. Los dos fueron médicos. El sultán de Egipto fue paciente de Maimónides y Averroes cuidó la salud del califa de Córdoba, sin olvidar jamás que, según escribió, la mayoría de las muertes ocurre por causa de la medicina. Los dos fueron, también, juristas. Averroes fue la máxima autoridad judicial de toda la Andalucía musulmana y sus sentencias sentaron jurisprudencia, durante siglos, en el derecho islámico. Esa contradicción condenó a Averroes. Ninguno de los dos murió en la ciudad donde había nacido. Fuente Consultada: Eduardo Galeano el pensamiento medieval en españa Averroes Averroes Maimónides
