    As an expressive compilation of all beliefs of Buddhism, Wesak incorporates all it means to be a Buddhist: the Three Jewels, the Four Noble Truths, and the Eightfold path. The commemorating festival of the birth, enlightenment and death of Buddha employs ritual practices to outwardly express and inwardly contemplate their commitment and yearning to reach enlightenment. In expression of the 3 Jewels, adherents kneel and bow 3 times a day, taking the 3 refugees “I take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha”. Puja is the act of showing reverence to a ‘god’ like creature, but because Buddhists do not worship the Buddha himself, concentration goes to connecting to his spiritual wisdom and to one’s self, as communicated in the Dharma: “Without morning meditation each day, I cannot find a sense of contentedness within myself” - Ketut Sandhiartha. As prayer, Puja is portrayed through communal chanting, individual meditation and devotional offerings to a symbol of Buddha. These offerings themselves also express Buddhist beliefs, with the example of gifts of incense symbolising both the spreading of ‘the fragrance of pure moral conduct’ as well as burning symbolising impermanence. The ‘Bathing of the Buddha, A Mahayana ritual, whereby Buddhists pour water over a statue of the Buddha, purifies the mind from inner thoughts, allowing internal balance. The four noble truths is the knowledge of the unsatisfactory nature of life, which leads to suffering (dukkha). Through reflection and prostration before images of Buddha, these truths, that dukkha exists due to impermanence (anicca), with the only release being Nirvana (the overcoming of desire), are comprehended properly, giving purpose and direction in life. During Wesak, the Eightfold path is reaffirmed as the way to reach Nirvana, with adherents aiming to correct their lives to imitate the 8 laws. By adhering to these guidelines, along with living in accordance with the Middle Way, Buddhists are guaranteed that…

    In D. H. Lawrences’ writings he explains a very archaic belief--that there are energy vortices within all of us. These power centers are located in our spiritual bodies, and are known as “chakras”. But as Lawrence explains, in most of us, there is a tremendous imbalance in the way the chakras are activated, and this imbalance causes various problems, neuroses, and complexes in our lives. In “The Horse Dealer’s Daughter” D.H. Lawrence uses an example of imbalanced chakra when he talks about Mable looking at her brothers like she is condemned. He looks tired no vitality, he’s ill. Joe, her brother, states that hes a doctor, and yet hes still sick. He’s got the intellect yet he has no vitality which is an example of imbalanced chakra. (page?) In Lawrence’s stories, this imbalance (usually between the upper and lower chakras) is a key trait in many of his characters, and quite often the plot of the story depend on…

    It is the widespread smear of blue, the vibrant sprouts of green and the sight of all things on earth.Colors are made up of everything and although what the human eyes claims to see is not certain that every organism sees has played with our imagination through childhood. Each of the infinite colors has it’s own value and personal definition to everyone. It engages the eyes with the mind into imagination and in some ways are deceptive.

    The Water Moon Monastery is a very peaceful and secluded sacred area where the Buddhist monks reside. The Monastery faces east towards the Keelung River with the Datun Mountain behind it. Every structural aspect of the Moon Monastery was made in regards to the Zen Buddhist culture, let it be the location or the building itself. The cardinal direction East is sacred because it symbolizes the beginning and end as the sun rises from east and sets in the west. The Water Moon Monastery has a wooden wall that has one of the sutras carved in it taking up the whole wall, every morning when the sun rises it shines through the sutras lightening up the area. The sutra that is written on the wooden wall is called the ‘Heart Sutra’. The monks wake up every day to it and have made a tradition to read the whole sutra slowly once they wake up. When the light shines through the sutras and is reflected onto the walls it looks like the teachings of Buddha are revealing themselves to the monks. The Water Moon Monastery has an eighty-meter pond that is used to symbolize the mind. Water also symbolizes purity, calmness, and clarity which are important virtues for a monk’s mind. The second sutra is ‘Vajrayana Sutra’ and it has its own personal tradition regarding water.

    Every morning before sunrise, several pioneers will rise the 365 stages that lead up the slope, record past the plated Vajra (Tibetan: Dorje) and two lions guarding the passage, and start a progression of clockwise circumambulations of the stupa (Newari Buddhists circle in the inverse, counterclockwise bearing). On each of the four sides of the fundamental stupa there are a couple of enormous eyes. These eyes are typical of God's omnipresent viewpoint. There is no nose between the eyes yet rather a representation of the main in the Nepali letter set, meaning that the single approach to edification is through the Buddhist way. Over every pair of eyes is another eye, the third eye, connoting the astuteness of peered inside. No ears are demonstrated in light of the fact that it is said the Buddha is not inspired by listening to petitions in recognition of…
