The Buddhism Temples
Buddhism is a growing religion, and there is evidence to show that many people are embracing it. Since the last three decades, a lot of literature has been published concerning Buddhism temples. The temples where Buddhists conduct various spiritual functions are found all over the world. Also, many researchers have been involved in publishing a series of journals and books concerning this matter. Most of the publications dealt with the religious expositions and personal experiences of Buddhist practitioners. Currently, the research is focused upon providing information regarding Buddhist temples.
In the book, ‘Buddhist World of Southeast Asia’, information is provided concerning in homelands located in Theravada, by the author Swearer. The author gives evidence concerning Southeast Asia’s Theravada Buddhism. He believes that the religion is dynamic and has complex practices and thoughts. The latter is due to the various histories, societies and cultures involved in Buddhism. Swearer claims that “women now have a role in the Buddhist society” (Swearer, 1995. 56). Women can now visit Buddhism temples without being denied entry or being discriminated against. The book focuses mostly on three key aspects, which are all interrelated. The first aspect is Buddhism ritual occasions, festival celebrations, rites of passage, as well as legends and myths. Secondly, he gives an over view of the relations, which exist between the state and Buddhism. Lastly, there is mention of how Buddhism has transformed over the years.
According to an article by Sandra Bell, Buddhism has spread to various parts of the world, and Britons have also embraced it. Theravada Buddhism has expanded to regions, which were mostly known as being Christian. In fact, in Britain, many people are converting and becoming Buddhists. Furthermore, the Buddhists have even built temples, and can be viewed in various parts of Britain. The article gives an illustration of how the British have modernized the Buddhism temples. The author believes that a lot of creativity has been put towards ensuring that the temples please Buddha. Bell claims that “ingenuity is being used in building the Buddhism temples” (Bell, 2000. 23). This shows that she is satisfied with the creativity that Britons are using in coming up with exquisite temple designs.
In the book ‘The spiritual legacy of Shaolin Temple: Buddhism, Daoism, and the energetic Arts’, a lot is mentioned concerning Buddhism temples. The authors Johnson Alan and James Andy enable readers to be aware of what takes place in Buddhism temples. It is believed that martial arts developed in temples used by the Buddhists. They show how the Buddhism temples provide a conducive environment for traditions, which are energetic, martial, as well as spiritual. The authors also show how the Buddhism religion has evolved in terms of individuals, society, as well as its culture. They claim that “the temple has an environment, which is calm and accommodating” (Johnson & James, 2001.112).
Lastly, the authors Carbine Jason and Reynolds Frank have come up with an intriguing book known as ‘The life of Buddhism’. Various scholars on Buddhist issues have presented essays in this book regarding the life that is led by Buddhists. It mostly focuses upon Buddhist adherents and their actual behavior, while engaging in their religious practices. Carbine and Reynolds make available information regarding Buddhist traditions and the existing variants. They are mainly the Vajrayana, Mahayana and the Hinayana branches. They also take an approach, which is wide, when examining Buddhist traditions (Carbine & Reynolds, 2000. 217).

Making Stories
Human life is full of stories according to Jerome Bruner especially those that touches on our interests and businesses. It is true that people sometimes associated themselves with some story which had attracted their attention somewhere and can work for their favor. It does not matter the depth of truth about such stories, but they are related to what has happened, what is happening or what we expect to happen to our lives. We, as human beings survive on motivations, inspirations and encouragements to soldier on in our daily endeavors because life is what you make it. To make sense of the stories, we must therefore relate them to some aspects of our lives. We might be living in narratives yes or might be defined by them because our lives are full of stories, stories of ourselves. In this case, we are good at telling stories about ourselves, more than any other person else.
Therefore, Bruner’s book, Making Stories: Law, Literature, Life reminds me of some of the decisions that I make based on some stories I know somewhere that was related to the same situation I am at a particular moment. We are naturally awarded with different capabilities and strengths. This means that nobody has nothing to tell about him or herself in terms of the achievements or what we are aiming to achieve. The picture of what we are or what we want to be is always very alive in our minds. Children or grown ups, we all have dreams, dreams which in most cases are like narratives. We create them to formulate the details of our lives. These dreams are like salt to our lives according to Bruner’s book.
In education, the search for knowledge has actually discounted events in the mind of every scholar to future expectations in life. The art of learning is a very dynamic system and every subject, topic, lesson or degree leads to some professionalisms. In this case, students will always pass by imaginations, ideas or assumptions which are visualized in their minds. The information about what they perceive will be based on self understanding. This is an example of a case whereby self-creation comes in. Self creation in the narratives might not be accurate or realistic, but there will always be extreme points in the narratives we say about ourselves. Pride and positivity are full in what we create about us in our memory because nobody would want to be associated with failure.
In professions like law, the book acknowledge the fact that prosecutions and defending teams in a legal case may be upgraded to extents of new words that might posses different meanings and perceptions based on the idea of narratives. In medicines too, for the doctor or the clinical officer to actually learn and know how to treat their patients, they have to do that by the help of the narrative which will be given by their patients first which they will listen to. Narratives will therefore even affect our health and professions.
Bruner’s book acknowledges the fact that humanity is weakened by falsehood and no good life can be made out of that. It affirms that every recall consciously comes with some changes and altered implications. Finally, the book summarizes that more recalling, and narrating about oneself will always drive you away from the truth and understanding of what you really are.
