World History (10/14) Do Now: What

should the U.S. do about ISIS? Why should we pursue this policy/action?

A different perspective…

What do these quotes mean? How are they different from ISIS’S perspective?

I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

Buddhism A video history While watching the video,

record the following information in your notes: Who was Siddhartha? How was he raised? What

effects did this have on him?

The Four Noble Truths 1. Life is filled with suffering and sorrow. 2. The cause of all suffering is people’s

desire for the temporary pleasures of this world.

3. The way to end all suffering is to end all desires.

4. The way to overcome such desires and attain enlightenment is to follow the eightfold path, which is called the Middle Way between desires and self-denial.

The eightfold path A guide to behavior Like a staircase

Master one level at a time Right views, right resolve,

right speech, right conduct, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration

By following this path, you could reach nirvana-a release from selfishness and pain Similar to Moksha

Is it like Hinduism? Yes because… Accepts idea of

reincarnation Cyclical view of

history End goal=perfect

state of understanding

No because… Rejects the many

gods of Hinduism Rejects the caste

system and privileges given to Brahmin priests

Exit Ticket Exit ticket: What is a

possible Buddhist lesson we can take away from this parable (next slide)? What evidence from the parable supports this interpretation?

Exit ticket parableThe mountains were splendid. But Wu Tang didn't care a whit for scenery.

He and his son spent a lot of time hunting in these mountains. Wu Tang was a dead shot with his bow and arrow. He never missed. He was such a good shot that he barely had to aim. He just picked a target, pulled his bow, and shot it down. No animal was quick enough or agile enough to escape his arrows. Look, over there, a little fawn! A little fawn must be one of the most adorable animals in nature, but Wu Tang wasn't in the mountains to admire nature. As soon as he spotted it, he whipped an arrow out of his quiver and zoom! The fawn fell over dead. Then Wu noticed its mother a few feet away in the grass. He couldn't get a good shot at her from his angle, so he waited. She was terribly sad about her little baby! She let out a cry as she started licking her baby's wounds. Just as she was concentrating on that, Wu pulled off a quick shot and the mother deer died on the spot.

But that wasn't enough for Wu. He thought there might be more deer in the area, because he heard something rustling around in the grass. There was at least one more in there, maybe two. "Three deer is better than two," he thought, as he prepared. Then he located the source of the sound and shot at a shadow in the grass. He was proud to hear the sound of another dead body falling to the ground, but his pride turned to anguish when he heard a groan! Deer don't groan like that! That was a human voice! Wu rushed over and saw that his third shot had killed not a deer, but his own son, who had come out hunting with him…
