Day 28 - Hinduism and Buddhism
Today in WHAP we continued our notes on Hinduism and Buddhism.
First, we started off class by talking about the same stuff we mentioned yesterday, about the margin review questions. All that stuff is in yesterdays blog, so if you'd like to read about that then go to that date. Adding on to that, Mr. Profitt emphasized the CPA argument form which we need to use on our reading quizzes, saying that some people still can't do it correctly.
After this, we resumed our notes on Hinduism. Essentially, by completing the duties of your caste, you gain karma, which helps lead to the ultimate goal of moksha, which is the separation from the whole rebirth process and the ultimate goal. The way Mr. Profitt put it was "To achieve Moksha, you must acquire Karma by doing your Dharma to your Varna."
Mr. Profitt made a point when someone asked why no one revolted, and he said they did occasionally, but normally they if they had three certain things, then they would be content. These things were an identity, purpose, and a sense of control. For someone who was an untouchable, it may have seemed like they had no purpose or control, but they had the ability to do their dharma and thus be reborn in a higher position in their next life.
Mr. Profitt said one sentence about Buddhism, saying how they had a founder whereas Hinduism didn't, but as soon as he said that the bell rang and we were dismissed.
Until Thursday!
