Historical view of Buddhism
The Three Jewels:
The Sanskrit term "triratna"
(or tiratna in Pāli) literally means "Three Jewels". In Buddhism the
Three Jewels (or Three Treasures) refer to the Buddha, The Dharma (the Buddha's
teachings) and the Sangha (the community of monks and nuns, or more generally
the community of Buddhist practitioners). The name of this domain

Teaching mediation to prison to the prisoner or guard
In the mid-1970s Vipassana was first tried within

especially the central nervous system (brain & spinal cod) occupying such a
position is expected to deliver...
Socrates (what does mean philosophy)
The word Philosophy is Greek for
"love/pursuit of knowledge", but for Socrates philosophy is so much
more than that. Socrates does not merely love knowledge. For Socrates knowledge
is a way of life, in fact, the only way. When faced with the opportunity to
escape death on the condition that Socrates quit "philosophizing",
Socrates would rather die. Socrates also mentions that people should not fear

is always open to new possibilities. In Socrates time, many people simply
believed what they were told, but Socrates did not just accept any answe...
