INDIAN PHILOSOPHY AND ANCIENT CHINESE PHILOSOPHY
posted on 17 Oct 2007 22:51 by bbeww in WorkNowadays most people in the world were faint in their own religion, but some people didn’t have the religion because they believed in own lifestyle. People lifestyle had change a lot from ancient but a lot of the religion and some ancient philosophies still apply to use in the age of globalization. It shown the religions always got accepted by most of the people and they also apply the religion in their lifestyle in very age. In Thailand people faint in Buddhism since the Sukhothai era until now more than 700 years, monk still same as before their job is to teach people to do good things and they were the sanctuary for the people even the time past by their job still same to teach people to be a better man. The ancient Chinese philosophy more than 2500 years most of the Chinese philosophy thought people to life in a happy life and a lot of great idea of life. Some Chinese people apply ancient Chinese philosophy to a war’s plan and to control people. It was shown that the idea of ancient Chinese could apply to many ways and it also thought people to be a better man. Indian philosophy and ancient Chinese philosophy had the same objective that both of them want to keep people life in happy life without any conflict, but nowadays our societies still had a lot of problem that we couldn’t really know the cause of them.
Buddhism begins with a question about what causes this suffering? How to get free from suffer? The answer is because we want so we suffer. I believe that if we can lay down and made the life go on without any problem so we will not suffer. Buddhism believes in law of Karma which covers three things: what an individual acts, speaks, and thinks. Before we kill anything our mind thinks we must kill, so whatever we do past our mind first. All we got in this life is comes from a result of what we did in the past and what we does in the present will determine what he will be in the future life. I agree that Buddhism teach us to not blame other made the Buddhist think this life depend on last life and we can made a good future by do good thing. I always believe in this law because I’m Buddhist. I never blame other people I always think that I have a good life today because I did a lot of good thing in my past life.
One of the oldest Indian philosophy and in the world is Hinduism it different from the other world religion such as Christianity, Islam and Buddhism but I accept that the teaching of Hinduism is great. I believe in law of Karma that if we do only good thing one day we will get reward from what we did, and if we do bad one day people will know and we will get bad respond from it. But one thing in the earliest period of Hinduism that I disagree is the class system. I believe that everyone should have right freedom to do what they want in limited of not affect the in society. Now Hinduism had developed since ancient times. The idea of Monism and the Idealism it is one of greatest idea that I believe in it. Monism refers to the idea that everything in the universe belongs to the same class. Idealism is the theory that spirit, not matter, is the reality. It made me surprise when I first heard this idea, it made me have a lot of new idea that people might be just only thing and we may not live in reality world. I also believe in The True self or Atman the way they thing is very interesting for me, each human is an individual who separated from other individuals. The true self philosophy is hard to choose which side I should believe because all The True Self philosophy had a great reason to explain what they prove. I don’t believe in the way to Enlighten in Hinduism that one way to enlightenment is to practice meditation, I don’t believe that our mind can have more powerful and have power to see the truth. I believe in science that electricity can made light, engine of car made it can run.
Most of the ancient
Chinese philosophy was teaching about life. There were a lot of good idea,
teaching way of life and thinking. I impress with the Fung Yu-Lan teaching, he
believe that Chinese philosophy is primarily philosophy of sageliness within
and kingliness without which mean in mind must be sage but in action must be a
king. If a lot of people follow this philosophy and apply to lifestyle the
society will better and most people will happy. K’ung Ch’iu or Master Kung is
very popular philosophy even in Thailand a lot of people apply his teaching in
lifestyle and in their business. I don’t really believe the righteousness which
means the oughtness of a situation. It said everyone action for the profit I
disagree with it because when I give money to the bagger I didn’t get any
profit and I also lose my money I just poor them so I give. About
Human-heartmess I accept this philosophy that people didn’t love something
because it gives benefit to him. About Philosophy Do for Nothing I think we
should do for something because if we have no point why should we do for, but
if we do nothing it might be good for people because people would not serious
about it so they wouldn’t care what they do for and if they didn’t succeed it
will be ok.
Lao Tzu’ teachings the rule to
enlightenment, if the human wants to achieve anything, he started from
opposite. This word is very intelligent idea because when I started to improve
something I must think that I not good enough I want to be better. I think Lao
Tzu is right to said that we shouldn’t know too much of thing because if we
know a lot we will think a lot that is not very necessary for our life to
survive, such as if I know that new laptop technology that better than my old
one so I want new but if I don’t know that there was a better one I still use
my old one. I accept that the knowledge made more problems to society but I
still want to know more because I think human nurture the god made people have
brain to keep the knowledge and to make me feel challenge when I learn
something new.
