I'm writing an essay on buddhism
    #17321369 -

Well, i am writing an essay on buddhism for my religions class.

I'm either going to write on the process of salvation in buddhism and hinduism, freeing yourself from the wheel of misfortune (samsara). this is about finding ones inner self and releasing yourself from the suffering or in balance life brings.

Or.

On the practice of meditation and the reasons it's a useful tool. Also discussing mantra and chants and using all this towards the goal of mindfulness and centering. Talk about differences in mahayana and therevada.

I think i'm going to pick the second one, mindfulness and meditation.

I was wondering if anyone experienced with buddhism or knowledgeable in this category could help give me some ideas to write about?

Write about Moksha, the idealist hindu life of liberation from Maya through the salvation of meditation.

My last essay in this class was on hinduism and the four stages of life actually. Moksha was hard to write about because it's so vague in a way. It gets down to some seriously spiritual stuff.

You have a goal, but your goal is to renounce everything, so you kind of don't have a goal, but you do?

You are on a path to become closer to the divine, but at the same time "we are all one, but infinite" is commonly stated. If you are already one then how can you get much closer?

I ended up writing a bit about how words are unimportant and in some cases a distraction from the spiritual path.

if you do the second topic you could write about the neuroscience of meditation.

it would be cool to see if different styles of meditation such as those practised in the mahayana or therevada traditions create different patterns of brain activity. you could also cross examine buddhist, hindu and even christian styles of meditation for alterations in brain activity  :thaaannks:
