Since” Buddhist philosophy gives practical suggestions for a virtuous life; this study will help one/to improve the quality of his or her life and the attitude towards his or her i / The philosophical system of Buddhisiti‘does not assumie a systematic form. We cannot make a sharp distinction between the philosophical, religious, and ethical notions of Buddhism. The reason behind it is that the philosophical notions were developed in the background of ethical and religious notions. We may find many overlapping ideas from the previous chapter ‘Buddhism as Religion’, such as the noble truths, the eightfold path, the doctrines of soul, the doctrine of karma, etc. All these imply profound philosophical insights as they imply great religious insights. The four noble truths are the most important principles of Buddhism. We need to take into serious account these principles, whether we speak about Buddhism as a religion, or Buddhist philosophy, or any other serious study on Buddhism. Here, only a brief description of the four noble truths is given, to start our study on the ‘Philosophy of Buddhism.’ The four noble truths are explained in detail in the chapter ‘Buddhism as a Religion.” We may have to refer back to the portion there for more details. The four noble truths of Buddhism are as follows: 3 Read GPH Help Book for IGNOU Exam IGNOU ALL SOLVED ASSIGNMENT PDF AVAILABLE ORDER NOW- 9350849407 HAND WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT HARD COPY (By Courier) & PDF FILES AVAILABLE Life is Full of Suffering (Dukkha): According to the first noble truth all forms of existence are subject to suffering. For Buddha it is a universal truth. All known and unknown facts and forms of life are associated with suffering. Birth, sickness, old age, death, anxiety, desire, and despair, all such happenings and feelings are based on suffering. Buddhism recognizes suffering at three levels, such as the suffering we experience in our daily life, like, birth, sickness, old age, death, despair, pain, desire, etc. (Gubkah-dubkhatta), suffering caused by the internal mental conditions and the activities of the sense organs (samkara-duhkhatta), and the suffering caused by the impermanence of objects and our relation to them (viparinama-duhkhatta). Suffering has a Cause (Dukkha samudaya): Everything in this cosmos has a cause, and nothing exists and happens without a cause. If this is the case, suffering should also have @ cause. Buddhism explains suffering throngh-a.chain of twelve causes and effects, commonly known as the Doctring of Dependent Origination (pratityasamutpada). In the final analysis, the root of all. miseries is desire (Tattha), Desire is all pervasive. Desire for Possession, enjoyment, atid'a separate individual existence are’Some of the virulent forms of desire, E Cessation of Suffering (Dukkha nirodia): If suffering has a tause, the secker has to destroy this cause to stop suffering. So desire has to be extinguished to stop suffering. Nirvana is the state of being without suffering. It is a state of supreme happiness and bliss. Ways to Destroy Suffering (Dukkha-nirodha-marga): The.ways to destroy suffering consists of the practice of the @ightfold virtue’ such as, Right View, Right Aspiration, Right Speech, Right Conduci, Right Liyélihood, Right Effort, Right Awareness, and Right Concentration. In the practicg’ of/al virtues one,Has to avoid extremes and follow the middle path, Write a note on moral philosophy of Sikhism. 22-23 Ans. Sikhism has developed a philosophy, though indebted to Hindu philosophy, with creative interpretation and new ideas. As in the case of Hinduism, Sikh philosophy cannot be completely segregated from the religious philosophy. Sikh philosophy subscribes to an idealistic monism with the characteristics of dynamism, non-dualism, and social commitment. Idealism in Sikhism can be understood in two ways ie, the metaphysical sense and the epistemological sense, In the metaphysical sense, idealism is the theory of the ultimate Reality and in the epistemological sense it maintains that the object perceived is not independent of the perceiver. Sikhism is idealistic in its nature 4 Read GPH Help Book for IGNOU Exam IGNOU ALL SOLVED ASSIGNMENT PDF AVAILABLE ORDER NOW- 9350849407 HAND WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT HARD COPY (By Courier) & PDF FILES AVAILABLE because it starts with the enquiry of the nature of the ultimate reality i.e., Ik, and this inquiry is spiritual in nature, Epistemological idealism starts its inquiry form the plurality of objects and ends with monism. Sikhism is indebted to Islam and Hinduism in its development of the concept of ‘metaphysical monism. Nanak played a decisive role in interfacing the salient features of these two religious traditions and at the same time judiciously avoided the unhealthy elements in them. Sikhism considers atman and body as the inseparable aspects of the one single spiritual reality. The ultimate spiritual reality is immanent in the cosmos and at the same time it is transcendent, The immanent aspect of the ultimate reality is emphasized through dynamism, non-dualism, and social involvement, which leads to the acceptance of differences or modifications. The difference in the empirical level is explained in terms of personal and impersonal: aspects of the ultimate Reality. Ik, in association with the created world} becomes personal (Saguna) and in its unmanifest form becomes impersonal (nirguna) Islam’s understanding, 6f theultimate reality; was jinfluencéd“by Greek, Hellenistic understanding which was first clearly articulated by the Greek philosopher Parmenides (c 514 BC) as “the absolutely real Being. Tbh ul Arabi (13th C. AD) the Islamic Sufi scholar, might have begn influenced by Parmenides’ concept of Being, in developing the ‘unity of Being’ and the phenomenal world as its manifestation) in Islam. Though the classical Islamic scholars did not subscribe to Ibn ul Arabi's concept of the unity of Being, the Islamic scholars in India welcomed this concept because of its similarity with the Vedantic philosophy of non-dualism, Earlier to the Rg Veda,\the understanding“of. the ultimate Reélity was polytheistic or henotheistic, The Vedic seers undetstood-the ultimate Reality (sat) as, one but people interpreted it as many (Rg Veda 1.164, 46)-The Rg Veda presented the empirical realities as the manifestations of the primordial’pérson (Purusha). By the time of the Upanishads, the Purusha in the Vedas gradually gave-way-to-afi impersonalistic non-dual reality i.e., Brahman, In the Bhagavad Gita and the Bhagavata tradition, the Reality assumed a personalistic form as the incamation of Vishnu. Later, the various schools in the Vedanta philosophy interpreted the ultimate Reality as either personal or impersonal or as both. Q2. Discuss and critically evaluate the idea of purusartha, 21-22 or wala question ‘Ans, The ancient seers laid down four supreme ends of life or Purusarthas, which give ‘meaning to human life. Pursusartha means ‘what is sought by human beings.’ They are dharma (righteousness/ religious, moral merit), artha (pursuit of wealth), kama (pursuit of pleasure), and moksa (liberation) 5 Read GPH Help Book for IGNOU Exam IGNOU ALL SOLVED ASSIGNMENT PDF AVAILABLE ORDER NOW- 9350849407 HAND WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT HARD COPY (By Courier) & PDF FILES AVAILABLE Dharma (justice, righteousness): The term ‘dharma’ gathered more and more meaning down the ages, and became a term of complex and varied meanings. For dharma, the dictionary suggests terms like virtue, righteousness, duty, right, morality, justice, the ‘good, the characteristics, tradition, ordinance, law, etc. But dharma is essentially a human alue, operating in the universe of human ideals. The Brahadaranyaka Upanishad Hdentifies ‘dharma’ with truth, That which is justice is truth, And justice and truth are the same, Sankara in his own Way interrelates the three concepts rta, satya, and dharma, He says
