Buddha Impetus to Primitive Psyche
BUDDHA IMPETUS TO PRIMITIVE PSYCHEReligions provide answers to the questions of mystic nature. Almost all people stick to the religious belief systems induced by the parents. Irrespective of the religion this is a strange phenomenon of our psyche. Some people can be driven to commit suicide in the name of their belief system. This explains how external ideas implanted in us after birth play a dominant role in our life journey. As to how our brain cells are programmed to accommodate the unique feature of “I” ness in us is the mystery of all mysteries. “I” ness leads to the formation of “We” and “Others”. Most times “I” and “We” establish a good social relationship but the “others” are frequently viewed and treated differently. How the mystic ideas came into the minds of primitive man and how the religions evolved into present forms, is elaborated in this essay. The Buddha clearly stated, to subject his teaching to observation and analysis before accepting and live up to it. This is an astonishing statement in his teachings that is not found in any other religions. The Buddha is reputed as a supreme person of enormous knowledge, specifically in the thinking about thinking. This essay explores core elements of Buddha teachings on a broader manner with a different dimension of logical insight, knowledge and rationalization, and answers the questions; what is the extra ordinary status the Buddha achieved? What is the mechanism in ceasing suffering when one attains the status of mindfulness? What is the extra ordinary status the Buddha achieved? What is the purpose of meditation? I trust this essay will be interested to readers, to explore the common Buddhist concepts expressed in a different manner. Buddhа Impetus to Prímit¡vе PsУсhе
