The above PBS podcast discusses and explores "The Dharmapada."
- A book of the Buddhists
- "All that we are is a result of our thoughts."
- Negativity breeds evil
- Pure and positive thoughts bring about good and hatred will cease
- Discusses the evils of vanity, temptation, gluttony, temperance
- "The evil man mourns and suffers in this life and the next."
- "The virtuous man is happy in this life and the next."
- "Earnestness is the path to enlightenment."
- "Thoughtlessness is the path to death."
The PBS podcast could be used to bring the parallel study of culture into the ESL classroom to greater increase an immersion-like sense of learning and fostering more well-rounded students.
This looks like a good resource.
