For the people who supported the monastic tradition, they tried to combine Pure Land into Chan Buddhism’s teaching. One of the supporters Chuhung (1535-1615) once mentioned that there were no big differences between the Buddhists teaching because they were all based on Chan Buddhism. (Amstutz 1997, 4) At the same time, people did not like the monks and they doubted their actions. Additionally, smart people usually studied hard in examination to be the government officials.

But after being exiled, the Dalai Lama’s spiritual, political and moral authority was rooted through his advocacy for Tibetan freedom from the Chinese and he was admired by the West for his peaceful resistance towards China, which earned him a Noble Prize.

Third of all, his modern view of Buddhism as well as his approaches to significant public issues like the human rights, the oppression of the minority and the environment, affected and influenced the West significantly.

This is showing the audience that Chavez realizes that these men have proved their methods the best, and he doesn't want to change them just try to use them for the benefit of the people. “ The boycott, as Gandhi taught, is the most nearly perfect instrument of nonviolent change, allowing masses of people to participate actively in a cause”. This quote really does work so well because of the organization that is used by Chavez to convey Gandhi’s message. If Chavez had not eased this very power quotes into is writing, they would not have been hear the same way.

“Our prime purpose in our life is to help others. And if you can’t help them, at least don't hurt them” - Dalai Lama.

Sophocles shows in the play Oedipus Rex that it is human nature to want the best for one another. This can be shown through the servant as he is threatened and questioned about his past, and Teiresias holding his tongue in spite of the King's cruel remarks.

Xuanzang’s journey and achievements have made a huge impact in the records of history. If it was not for his guide other Buddhist sites would not have been discovered. Sun was refused to go to Uzbekistan and Afghanistan was restricted from her. For her the journey was amazing, because she felt what it means te be a Chinese and she was inspired by him.

3.2 The Doppelgänger Motif in The Monk The Monk exemplifies the doppelgänger motif through the character of Ambrosio, as the story follows his fall from holiness to immorality. At the beginning of the novel, Ambrosio is the abbot of a monastery of Madrid and idolized by everyone. Consequently, he is obviously proud of himself and feels superior to normal people because he has never committed any sins. He has no divided self, or, at least, his honorable self prevails, while the other is hidden somewhere: “As yet his other passions lay dormant; But they only needed to be once awakened, to display themselves with violence as great and irresistible” (Lewis 1973: 239). Ambrosio was originally good, as Lewis claims in a few passages, he was “corrupted”

Therefore, there would have been no bloodshed in Korea. And now, the most pointless war in history of mankind, the Vietnam war, fought literally because the American government didn’t want communism anywhere, yet they overlooked the fact that south Vietnam’s leader was a horrible man who didn’t believe in human rights and that the guerillas of the Viet Cohn were not massacring the citizens of south Korea, but were actually coming to peoples’ homes and helping them with their farms. All they did was share their communist beliefs, they didn’t even force them upon them, and most of the south Vietnamese liked the idea. North Vietnam didn’t even use brutal tactics against their people, like most “communist” countries. Doesn’t sound like a problem, riiiiiiiight?

Dolphus a rich white man that has a colored wife and family hides the truth from society.

He lives the way he does so he can live in peace and not have to deal with the constant prejudice of others in the town.

For example : Dalai Lama has different reputations as a leader and a human rights activist as well, but his reputation is not seen as this picture everywhere because his reputation is different in the west , in his home Tibet and in his enemy 's base China and myths and truths. According to enotes, the Dalai Lama’s reputation in his native Tibet is a product of the stature that accompanies that designation. Born Lhamo Dondrub on July 6, 1935, he was officially recognized on November 17, 1950 as the reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lama, making him His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet.

After Buddhism’s arrival in China, the Chinese defended the policies and beliefs of Buddhism. Zhi Dun described Buddhism as providing a way to reach nirvana, or total enlightenment. Due to Zhi Dun’s position as an upper class scholar, his writing doesn’t reflect the lower classes’ feeling of danger due to invading nomads. As an upper class scholar, Zhi Dun was not directly threatened by such nomads.

The acquisition of monastic education is accurately displayed in A Mapmaker’s Dream, by James Cowan. Fra Mauro is a monk, which means he is very religious and lives for god. “My problem is that I have always been afraid of making such a journey, probably because my bones would renounce me as an imposter!” (3). Mauro wanted to travel, but through monastic education he learned not to because he lived for god.

With all presidents there comes the good and the bad, as for the bad George failed to deal with the many of the problems at home in the country instead focused mostly on the problems of other countries. This could have been because he was very familiar in dealing with foreign affairs causing him to ignore the domestic problems. An example of his failure to focus on America was he failed to create a new plan for the international environment and to place any responsibility on the United States. Even though he was able to decrease drug use in the middle class in the lower class drug use increased.

Finally, and this is the most distressing fact about the Trump campaign is that even though all the beliefs and statements above could just be plain talk and not action as many politicians do and he himself has not hurt anyone yet physically; the news is filled with the pain his supporters have caused and yet Trump says nothing! Even when one of the former Republican Nominees John McCain was asked about the rumour that Obama is Muslim, he responded by saying “No ma’am he is a good Christian man, it is just that we disagree on the fundamentals.” When Trump is asked this however, instead he smiles and encourages the lie. Furthermore when it came to his attention that one of his supporters beat a homeless man who is from Mexico senseless and then continue to urinate on him; instead of denouncing them Donald Trump simply smiles and comments that his “Supporters are definitely passionate.” Overall it is imperative that we as a nation should stop Trump before it becomes even more dangerous as he, breaks the constitution, has eccentric ideas that cannot be implemented and encourages violence from his supporters.
