Beginning of Life indicates the Wheel of Life

Wheel of Life

The wheel of life as portrayed in Tibetan art and Japanese art in the circle, the hog represents ignorance (Moha), the cock represents desire (raga) and snake represents aversion (dosa). Despite this recent progress, I think it exaggeration to say that Buddha’s Dependent Origination (Paticca Samuppada) theory of cause and effect and the Middle Way are still applicant to moral development of mankind and the very best universal theory.  It seems the comparison of the wheel of life with scientific outlook. Buddhism teaches that all compounded things come into being, presently exist and ceases dependent on conditions and causes.

Newsweek of May 7, 2001 published a cover story on “Science & the Spirit”. In this essay there are comments on Buddhism, ”Scientists are using brain imaging to pinpoint the circuits that are active when Tibetan Buddhists mediate.”…10

            According to Buddhism ignorance is the ultimate beginning of life.

Lessons of Life

Life is not easy to live with all its sad and happy times. Life is more that what we think it is. Everyone on earth brings us joy and sorrow but yet we are ok with it and still the life is worth living.

Religion of Islam

Islamic Way of Life

By

Introduction

The word "Islam" is an Arabic word which means "submission to the will of God". This word comes from the same root as the Arabic word "salam", which means "peace". As such, the religion of Islam teaches that in order to achieve true peace of mind and surety of heart, one must submit to God and live according to His Divinely revealed Law. The most important truth that God revealed to mankind is that there is nothing divine or worthy of being worshipped except for Almighty God, thus all human beings should submit to Him.

The word "Muslim" means one who submits to the will of God, regardless of their race, nationality or ethnic background. Being a Muslim entails willful submission and active obedience to God, and living in accordance with His message. Some people mistakenly believe that Islam is just a religion for Arabs, but nothing could be further from the truth. Not only are there converts to Islam in every corner of the world, especially in England and America, but by taking a look at the Muslim World from Bosnia to Nigeria, and from Indonesia to Morocco, one can clearly see that Muslims come from many various races, ethnic groups and nationalities. It is also interesting t[1]o note that in actuality, more than 80% of all Muslims are not Arabs - there are more Muslims in Indonesia than in the whole Arab World! So though even though it is true that most Arabs are Muslims, the large majority of Muslims are not Arabs. However, anyone who submits completely to God and worships Him alone is a Muslim. The numerous tragic events of the past few years, such as the terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers in New York, Bali, Madrid and London, the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, the ongoing violence in those two countries and the attack on Lebanon, have created an interest in Islam generally, and more particularly in the phenomenon known as the ‘Islamic revival’.
