Medical Aspects of Hinduism

A 5 page discussion of the cultural considerations which must be made when considering the health needs of Hindus.

Modernity and the Kama Sutra
[ send me this paper ]
Modern society is obsessed with sex. Any glance at the television screen, tabloids, or even traditional news outlets informs of a world that cannot get enough of the dirty details of a star’s sexual affairs or even those of a Prince and Princess or a President of a country. Today, movie stars and celebrities are considered automatic ambassadors for a country, making the sexploits of these national figures even more riveting to most people than serious global issues. In fact, there is no taboo sexual subject. This makes it difficult for a religious text such as the Kama Sutra to be held up as a religious document and retain the proper respect it is due. 4 works cited. jvkamasu.rtf

Myth, Symbol & Ritual/Shintoism
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page research paper that discusses the nature of myth and symbol in Shinto ritual. Japanese mythology, which plays a major role in Shinto beliefs, encompasses an intricate and complex system of beliefs. The Shinto pantheon consists of 8000 kami (Japanese for "gods" or "spirits") (Japanese mythology). The Kojiki ("Record of Ancient Things") is the oldest recognized book of Japanese myths, legends and history (Japanese mythology). One notable feature of Japanese mythology is that it explains the origin of the Imperial family, while also assigning them godhood (Japanese mythology). Unlike other national mythologies, in which there is a clear line that divides myth from everyday life, Shinto beliefs and ways of thinking are deeply intertwined with the subconscious social fabric of modern Japanese society (Shinto). Examination of Japanese myths, symbols and rituals illustrates this fact and how Shintoism continues to influence modern Japanese life. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Refuting The Notion Of Impermanence In Buddhism
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The perception of time to the Buddhists is not associated with the measure of time in typical fashion, but rather it incorporates an overwhelming sense of wholeness and expansion, which effectively transcends any mortal barriers placed upon its passage. There are significant differences between how time is perceived in Buddhism and that which is perceived by what is termed a "normal" basis. This sense of distinct timelessness – an impermanence that is in direct opposition to the rigid structure of its passage outside of the Buddhist realm -- has no proof of actuality; rather, it reflects an esoteric perspective of time and space that is supposed to apply to mortal beings. One might readily surmise that once out of this lifetime, the aspect of impermanence may exist, yet the fundamental essence mortal existence advances the very notion of limitations and perpetuity.
