Buddhist Theocracy: Difference between revisions

'''Buddhist Theocracy''' is a authoritarian centre, culturally variable ideology. Buddhism originated in India, based on the teachings, of Siddhartha Gautama, later known as Gautama Buddha. A Buddha is one who is said to be awake to the truth of life. The core of Buddhists beliefs are centered on the four noble truths, the noble eight-fold path and the five precepts.

 

Buddhist Theocracy is typically calm and "zen", often seen meditating. This can be shown by either the ball floating, generic chi symbols around the ball, or closed eyes. Artists are encouraged to use the standard Buddhism stereotypes.

 

The Buddha's first and most important teachings are the Four Noble Truths.

#Life often—in fact almost always—involves suffering.

#The way to cure suffering is to rise above this desire.

#The way to rise above desire is to follow the ''Noble Eight fold Path'', practices which help us change our minds and understanding .

The Buddha told people to follow a special way of life called the ''Noble Eightfold Path'' if they want to understand the ''Four Noble Truths''. These are:

#Appropriate views. Know and understand the Four Noble Truths

#Appropriate mindfulness. Remember the Dharma and apply it all the time

#Appropriate meditation. Practice meditation as a way of understanding reality

Buddhists are encouraged to follow five ''precepts'', or guidelines. The Buddha taught that killing, stealing, having sex in a harmful way, and lying are not signs of skill.

#I will not hurt a person or animal that is alive.

#I will not take intoxicants, like alcohol or drugs, causing heedlessness
