A Level Religious Studies - Buddhism Quotes Page

Buddhism Quotes Page “All that is arising is subject to cessation.” Buddha “Subject to decay are all compounded things, so be mindful.” Buddha “He who sees Dependent Origination, sees the Dharma.” Buddha One Buddhist scripture states that everything is “vanishing from moment to moment.” “Impermanency of things is the arising, passing and changing of things.” “Generally understood term.” Buddha. The parts are not the whole, the name is just a “generally understood term” for a collection of parts. “Where all constituent parts are present the word chariot is applied” Nagasena “Before their desires are satiated, death takes them away.” Buddha On Anatta, Denise Cush says “this is the most vital Buddhist concept to grasp.” “This is not mine, this I am not, this is not myself.” Buddha on the Skandhas. Snelling argues that anatta “unlocks the door of the cell of individuality and offers freedom.” “Birth is suffering, ageing is suffering, sickness is suff...

A Level Religious Studies - Buddhism Causal Links

The 12 Causal Links The First Link – Ignorance (avijja) The link is pictured through a blind whoman who struggles to move forwards. She cannot see where she is going. Ignorance is blindness, which means it is different to seeing. Ignorance is a lack of insight into the reality of things. The Second Link – Karma This link is shown by a potter. The significance of this is how the clay can be formed into something new, just like how karma can affect oneself in the future. This relates to the potter's wheel because once it starts to spin, it continues to do so much like how karma does not stop. The Third Link – Consciousness (vinnana) This link is represented by a monkey going from window to window. It shows a single consciousness interpreting things through different sensory organs. The monkey shows the primitive spark of sense-consciousness. The Fourth Link – Body (nama-rupa) This is shown by people sitting in a boat, with one of these people steeri...

A Level Business Studies - Responding to a fall in industry capacity utilisation

-
Many car manufacturers are expected to respond to a fall in overall capacity utilisation in the industry by cutting prices. To what extent is cutting prices a good way for any business to respond to a fall in the overall capacity utilisation in its industry? Capacity utilisation is the percentage of total capacity that is actually achieved in a period of time. The extent to which cutting prices is a good way for a business to respond to a fall in capacity will depend on the price elasticity. This essay will look at whether it is good for all businesses or not. Cutting prices would lead to the product becoming more accessible. Reducing overall capacity utilisation means that the business will have higher costs as demand is lower; goods being sold will not have their revenue spread across the fixed costs. A Daihatsu car may work to combat this because a car is a luxury product and is price elastic, meaning that demand will change as the price does. A fall in selling price will mean...

A Level Religious Studies - Idiot's Guide to Naturalism

-
Image
Idiot’s Guide to Naturalism Naturalism is the view that 1.      Ethical terms can be defined or explained using the same ‘natural’ terms we use in maths and science 2.      Morals can be based on the same kind of observation of the world as used in science 3.      All ethical statements can be translated into non-ethical ones Naturalists are absolutists . Morals are not about opinions and points of view and are objectively true . For example: ‘euthanasia is evil’ – they are expressing a moral truth, not an opinion. A person uses their senses and logic to conclude ethical truths. Moral truths are facts like numbers. You can conclude something is wrong from observation and analysis . Moral facts aren’t views or opinions, nor are they based on spiritual or intuitive sense. When you observe something is wrong, it’s a moral fact of the universe. Theological naturalists, like Thomas Aquinas,...
