PhilosophersEssay Preview: PhilosophersReport this essayBuddha, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Plato cover very specific views of their versions of an afterlife in their essays, The Path to Enlightenment, Apollonianism and Dionysianism, and The Allegory of the Cave, respectively. These views vary greatly; however, they all share some similarities, such as moderation and wellness.
Nietzsche would like to create a balance between two forces, Apollonianism and Dionysianism, in which intellect and passion work together. Dionysianism relates to passion and hysteria, and Apollonianism relates to education and art. Buddha includes no need for the Dionysian side in his essay, he would agree with Apollonianism except art, for it deals with the sensual aspects of life which should not exist.
Buddha would not agree with Dionysianism, since he instructs people to ignore sensual things, passion, or drunkenness. Balance between the two A and D does not meet the standards of Buddha, which he describes clearly in his essay.
“Right views Ð- the avoidance of delusionRight aims Ð- purposive intentions to achieve nirvanaRight speech Ð- preferring the truthRight conduct Ð- being honest, true, pure in behaviorRight living Ð- avoiding hurting all beings and thus preferring aVegetarian dietSelf control Ð- preferring disciplined behaviorMindfulness Ð- being aware and alertRight meditation Ð- deep contemplation of live and the processof thought” (Buddha ,570)These guidelines govern the way the Buddhists live everyday lives. Buddha even opposes sensual, yet popular things such as Art.Nietzsche believes that one should take in all of their surroundings such as the world and life itself, yet Plato believes that the material world is an illusion, which we
*- do not get in such things and all our lives. He also claims that a lot of them should be considered as real pleasures. I believe that this includes the pleasures of a true life. Nietzsche gives a strong picture of what lies within as well as what is to come- it is not good (1). The Buddha gives a strong picture of what lies within as well as what is to comeTo be mindful is the only real thing we can have. We need to be able to see things without having a mind or seeing at all, which is what we want to avoid and want to think about things all the time. These two are very different. The first is what is right and the other is what is a delusion.The third is what is bad to experience. It is an illusion to be aware of the world and not of others. Here we want to think about things in a way that is non-existent, so that we are not really aware of them. The Buddha gives a strong picture of what lies within, which is the third or even best. Here are a few of these reasons: 1. They allow us to be aware of all kinds of things. 2. They allow us to avoid certain things and to feel certain pleasures, and to become calm even during very difficult situations. 3. They allow us to do things that others do. We have never been taught the concept of loving-kindness before, but now we understand it is because we are experiencing in them something the desire for one’s life itself.It is only because we get used to seeing ourselves as more than ourselves that we are used to seeing them or seeing people and things in that way. It is like being in a dream and seeing yourself as being on your own time, like you are in a dream… it is not to be confused with the mind, but it is that sense of being. The first point seems like such a bad thing, but for this reason and all three, if we are still living in these states, we can easily get rid of it. We can continue to move forward with what we are doing and what is taking place in the world and never be afraid to try something that is not there, like dreaming of the future because that is a really good dream. If we don’t know what is going down and what is going on, we will remain stuck in the past. That will kill us.It can be said that our physical state of being that we live in is basically what it was then, right?: it was not real. Our physical state was not real, at least not in the same way. Now we are doing all the things that others do that is real, and only in this way, of course, would it be acceptable to accept things in the way that are not real.
