The Chinese form the vast majorty in these four groups, due in part to their dominance in Singapore.

Vesak: Encyclopedia II - Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam - The LTTE and human rights

The allegation of terrorism against the LTTE is part of a broader allegation that the LTTE does not have respect for human rights, and does not adhere to the standards of conduct expected of a resistence movement. In particular, the LTTE has been accused of knowingly recruiting using child soldiers as front-line troops (HRW 2003). Amid international pressure, LTTE announced in July 2003 that it would stop conscripting child soldiers, but both UNICEF[8] and HRW[9] have accused it of reneging on its promises, and of conscripting Tamil c ...

Vesak: Encyclopedia II - Gautama Buddha - Physical characteristics

Buddha is perhaps one of the few sages for whom we have mention of his rather impressive physical characteristics. He was at least six feet tall and had a strong enough body to be noticed by one of the Kings and was asked to join his army as a general. Although the Buddha was not represented in human form until around the 1st century CE (see Buddhist art), his physical characteristics are described in one of the central texts of the traditional Pali canon, the Digha Nikaya. They help define the global aspect of the historical Buddha, his physical appearance is described by Buddha's wife to his son Rahula ...

Vesak: Encyclopedia II - Culture of Singapore - Racial Harmony

Religious tolerance has been strongly encouraged since the British colonised Singapore; the Sri Mariamman Temple (a south Indian Hindu temple that was declared a national heritage site in the 1980s), as well as the Masjid Jamae Mosque that served Chulia Muslims from India's Coromandel Coast is situated ...

Vesak: Encyclopedia II - Gautama Buddha - The Buddha in other religions

Gautama Buddha - Hinduism. Some Hindu denominations regard Buddha as the ninth avatar of Lord Vishnu. Buddhists in general do not consider the Buddha to be God or an avatar of any god, and view such notions as Hinduism's (largely successful) attempt to "absorb" Buddhism. The general decline of Buddhism in India has been attributed to this "absorption" not only of the Buddha as a religious figure but of development in parallel Vedanta philosophy which began challenging Buddhism's philosophically st ...

Vesak: Encyclopedia II - Culture of Asia - Architecture

Until contact with European influence, some cultures would build renewable buildings. For example, in Japan, the temples of Kyoto and Nara might be over 1,000 years old in style, but be completely rebuilt, in the same style, every few generations or so. The primary reason for this was that the materials might be wood and thatch rather than stone and tile. Other cultures might build from stone, but the jungles and forests ...

Vesak: Encyclopedia II - Theravada - Praxis

Theravada - Lay and Monastic Life. Traditionally, Theravada Buddhism has observed a distinction between the practices suitable for a lay person and the practices undertaken by ordained monks (and, in ancient times, nuns). While the possibility of significant attainment by laymen is not entirely disregarded by the Theravada, it occupies a position of significantly less prominence than in the Mahayana and Vajrayana traditions. This distinction - as well as the distinction between those practices advocated by the Pa ...

The story of Great Floods find reference in most of the regions of Asia, the earliest known reference being in the Epic of Gilgamesh. Most of the accounts and characters of such a deluge are comparable to Noah. Thus, the Hindu mythology tells about an avatar of God Vishnu in the form of a fish who warned Manu of a terrible flood. In ancient Chinese mythology Shan Hai Jing, the Chinese ruler Da Yu had to spend ten years to control a deluge which swept out most of the ancient China and was aided by the goddess Nuwa who literally "fixe ...

Main article: Cinema of Singapore The development of film industry in Singapore has a considerably late start and therefore lags significantly behind that of other countries or economies in the region such as Hong Kong.
