outline below
- Describe your chosen topic on a theory of justice, ideology, philosophy, religion.
Buddhism – Buddhism is a religion that is based on self care along with the care of others and other things. Like any other religion that has its rules and ideologies on how to care for one another and for what has been given to them. Buddhism also believes in karma it is something that we are able to throw around lightly as a joke or as a side comment, but buddhists take karma very strongly.
Theory - Karma: the idea of what goes around comes around
Different types of Buddhism:

Theravada, the most ancient form of Buddhism, is the dominant school in Southeast Asianame translates to "Doctrine of the Elders”
Mahayana developed from Theravada after the buddha attained enlightment
Vajrayana provides a quicker path to enlightment
Zen Buddhism originated in china with the teaching of monk Bodhidharma
What is a monk? -a member of a religious community of men typically living under vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience.
***monks follow a few more rules than the average buddha follower**
(religion)http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/buddhism/ataglance/glance.shtml
Buddhism is a spiritual tradition that focuses on personal spiritual development and the attainment of a deep insight into the true nature of life.There is no belief in a personal god Buddhism is considered a religion.
(ideology)
(philosophy)http://www.budism.org/en/node/buddhism1
https://www.age-of-the-sage.org/buddhism/buddhist_philosophy.html
Buddhism is not considered a philosophy the ideal comes from “philosophy and Buddhist practice lead to clarity of thought, only the latter can lead to permanent transformations because it gives the practical key to inner and outer events experienced every day.”
(justice)https://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/5minbud.htm
Buddha “explains apparent injustice and inequality around the world, and it provides a code of practice or way of life that leads to true happiness. Buddhism does not support greed.
Buddhism believes in the practices of the law but does not soley agree with the consequence for an example, the death penalty goes against Buddhism practice for harming living things.
What happens when you don’t follow the laws and practices of buddha
For monks , vinaya pitaka mentions acknowledging the mistakes with fellow monks. Others asked for forgivness from the teacher.
- Provide a bibliography of sources you have identified on the history and theoretical principles of the belief system.
basic concepts in Buddhism can be summed up by the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path.

- Describe the sources you have identified about legal, policies and practices promoted by your theory of justice.
There really isn’t a legal aspect to karma however, their policies and practices teach that if you are to do good thing you will be rewarded later on down in life however if you were to do ill to a person or thing then you would be punished later.
Identify sources to help you analyze who benefits and who suffers from your theory of justice.
Many people benefit from Buddhism parts such as yoga. Oh, it is that believe of well-being to yourself and to others that is able to be carried through people’s lives. People who suffer are said to be at the hands of karma and Ennis to explain why they did something bad in the past and is now coming to “bite them in the butt “.
