| ARTICLES RELATED TO Arahant | | | | |  Arahant: Encyclopedia II - Pratitya-samutpada - ApplicationsThe general formulation has two very well known applications.
Pratitya-samutpada - Four Noble Truths.
The first application is to suffering, and is known as the Four Noble Truths:
1. Duhkha: There is suffering. Suffering is an intrinsic part of life also experienced as dissatisfaction, discontent, unhappiness, impermanence.
2. Samudaya: There is a cause of suffering, which is attachment or desire (tanha).
3. Nirodha: There is a way out of suffering, which is to eliminate attachment and desire.

| | | | | Arahant: Encyclopedia II - Pratitya-samutpada - Madhyamaka and Pratitya-samutpada Though the formulations above appear might seem to imply that pratitya-samutpada is a straightforward causal model, in the hands of the Madhyamaka school, Pratitya-samutpada is used to demonstrate the very lack of inherent causality, in a manner that appears somewhat similar to the ideas of David Hume.
The conclusion of the Mādhyamikas is that causation, like being, must be regarded as a merely conventional truth (saṃvṛti), and that to take it as really (or essentially) existing would be both a logical error and a ...

| | | | | Arahant: Encyclopedia II - God - Names of God The noun God is the proper English name used for the deity of monotheistic faiths. Different names for God exist within different religious traditions:

Saint - Christianity.
In the Roman Catholic church, the title of Saint - with a capital 'S' - refers to a person who has been formally canonized (officially recognized) by the Church. Formal Canonization is a lengthy process often taking many years, even centuries. The process includes a thorough investigation of the individual who has been put forth as a candidate for Sainthood. This investigation typically is concerned with examining and confirming (or disproving) any number of visions or miracle ...

All strains of thought appear in different segments of all major world religions.
Religion - Exclusivism.
People with exclusivist beliefs sometimes typically explain other religions as either in error, or as corruptions or counterfeits of the true faith. Examples include:
Christian scripture states that Jesus said: "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes ...

| | | | | Arahant: Encyclopedia II - God - Definition
God - Concept of God.
In many Western religions, God is usually said to have a specific and clearly defined relationship to, and interest in, the happenings of this world and the lives of those in it. Metaphors for God's relationship to the visible world often include that of ruling authority (king, ruler), and (in most Abrahamic religions) judge of individual activity therein.
By contrast, many Asian and Oriental religions and philosophies consider that there is an ultimate intelligence, pur ...

| | | | | Arahant: Encyclopedia II - God - Etymology The word God continues Old English/Germanic god (guþ, gudis in Gothic, gud in modern Scandinavian and Gott in modern German), from Proto-Germanic *ǥuđan. The original meaning and etymology of the Germanic word god has been hotly disputed, though most agree to a reconstructed Proto-Indo-European form *khutóm, which is the neuter passive perfect participle of the root *khu-, which likely meant "libation", "sacrifice".

| | | | | Arahant: Encyclopedia II - God - Theology Theologians attempt to explicate (and in some cases systematize) beliefs; some express their own experience of the divine. Theologians ask questions such as, 'What is the nature of God?' What does it mean for God to be singular? If people believe in God as a duality or trinity, what do these terms signify? Is God transcendent, immanent, or some mix of the two? What is the relationship between God and the universe, and God and mankind?
Theism holds that God is both transcendent and immanent; thus, God is simultaneously infinite a ...

| | | | | Arahant: Encyclopedia II - Religion - Religion and other approaches to forming beliefs about the nature of the universe Humans have many different methods which attempt to answer fundamental questions about the nature of the universe and our place in it (cosmology). What is reality? How can we know? Who are we? Why we are here? How should we live? What happens after we die? Religion is only one of the methods for trying to answer one or more of these questions. Other methods include science, philosophy, metaphysics, esotericism, and mysticism. Many people use more than one of these methods.
Christianity is the religion with the largest number o ...

| | | | | Arahant: Encyclopedia II - Religion - Development of religion There are several models for understanding how religions develop.
Models which view religion as untrue include:
The "Dogma Selection Model," which holds that religions, although untrue in themselves, encode instructions or habits useful for survival, that these ideas "mutate" periodically as they are passed on, and they spread or die out in accord with their effectiveness at improving chances for survival.
The "Opium of the Masses Model," in which "Religion in any shape or form is regarded as pernicious and del ...

| | | | | Arahant: Encyclopedia II - Religion - Etymology The origins of the word "religion" have been debated for centuries. Some explanations for the origin of the word are:
re-reading--from Latin re (again) + legio (read), referring to the repetition of scripture.
treating carefully--from Latin relegere (Cicero's interpretation)
re-connection to the divine--from Latin re (again) + ligare (to connect, as in English ligament). This interpretation is favoured by modern scholars such as Tom Harpur, but prob ...

| | | | | Arahant: Encyclopedia II - Virgin Birth - Alleged late appearance in the New Testament There are explicit references to the virgin birth in only two places in the New Testament: the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, which are believed to be amongst the latest written parts of the New Testament. The apparently older Gospel of Mark, on which Matthew and Luke are believed to be partly based (see Markan priority), does not mention the virgin birth, and some scholars also argue from lexicon and style that the first two chapters of Luke, describing the virgin birth, were a later addition to the Gospel, which may originally have began at ...

Religion - Methods of studying religion subjectively in relation to one's own beliefs.
These include efforts to determine the meaning and application of "sacred" texts and beliefs in the context of the student's personal worldview. This generally takes one of three forms:
one's own — efforts by believers to ascertain the meaning of their own sacred text or other traditions, and to conform their thoughts and actions to the principles enunciated in those traditions. For most believers, this involves ...

God - Abrahamic conceptions.
Judaism, Christianity and Islam see God as a being who created the world and rules over the universe. God is usually held to have the properties of holiness (separate from sin and incorruptible), justness (fair, right, and true in all His judgments), sovereignty (unthwartable in His will), omnipotence (all-powerful), omniscience (all-knowing), omnibenevolence (all-loving), omnipresence (present everywhere at the same time), and immortality (eternal and everlasting).
