Buddha Boy Chapter Summary
In this chapter of Buddha Boy it starts off with Audrey telling Justin she has a special surprise for him. The surprise is Justin’s dad is in town. So they eat dinner together at a place called Maria’s and Justin is enjoying it. During dinner, Justin asks if Jinsen can come over for spring break, which his dad says sure. They talk about Jinsen and the excitement drains away. They ride back home and Justin’s dad drops Justin off and leaves.

This was an important chapter because the readers learn about Justin’s dad a bit more. This is the first time we get to read Justin and his dad talk face to face. They seem to have a good relationship and it seems Justin talks about his feelings to his dad more than his mum. Also it seems Justin enjoys

    Ahimsa is the belief of nonviolence, which Buddhism justifies by reminding followers that all life experience suffering and additional pain is not needed in this world. Also, Buddhism teaches the belief in the cycle of rebirth, however, without a belief in a soul; Buddhists believe it is the parts of the individual’s personality that reform in the new life. Finally, Buddhism teaches followers about nirvana granting release from the cycle of rebirth. Nirvana is a state of bliss without pain, and liberation from the cycle of rebirth and Buddhists believe that it can be obtained within one’s lifetime, rather than at death (Molloy,…

    Synopsis of Yolngu Boy

    • 1858 Words
    • 8 Pages

    Yolngu Boy (Stephen Johnson, 2000), about the friendship between three adolescent Aboriginal men and the way each relates to the ancient cultural tradition to which they belong, arrives at a time when awareness of Australia's colonial history, in particular, phenomena like the 'Stolen Generation', is considerable. But this is a very troubled time of awareness, in which the fight to 'write' or 'claim' 'history' according to one's own political and personal ideology is shockingly evident, as outlined by Robert Manne in a recent article (1). In a public screening for the film that was followed by a Q&A with the director, scriptwriter and producer that I attended, it became quite obvious in the tenor and content of the audience's questions that they not only enjoyed the film but were indeed moved by what they had just seen. It was apparent that the main reason for such a reaction was because the audience was given a rare opportunity to relish in the sounds and images of Aboriginal characters, their communities and their stories, portrayed in a naturalistic, detailed and genuine light. Despite the Australian government's notorious refusal to apologise to the indigenous community regarding Australia's colonial past and its efforts to discredit the 'Stolen Generation' there is a strong willingness among a good portion the Australian public to forge an understanding for indigenous culture and history - a sentiment that was evident at the public screening of Yolngu Boy which I attended.…

    “The Buddha said that it didn’t matter what a person’s status in the world was, or what their background or wealth or nationality might be. All were capable of enlightenment.” (Boeree) In Herman Hesse 's Siddhartha, Hesse splits Siddhartha Gautama (the founder of Buddhism) into two major characters in his novel, Siddhartha and Gotama Buddha. Hesse develops these characters to mirror Siddhartha Gautama 's journey to enlightenment and his life as a teacher to point out the irony in the authentic Buddha 's teaching and to show the reader that enlightenment is not based solely on teachings or experience.…
