[QUOTE="satnamr46, post: 118331, member: 8586"] Dear Sangat Ji, Waheguru ji ka khalsa Waheguru ji ki fateh I am just posting an article from Helium .com which talks about "Threee Pillrs Of Life " among different faith communities. Thanks Satnam Singh [B]Explaining the three pillars of life [/B] [LIST] [*] [/LIST] [B]by [URL="http://www.helium.com/users/528715/show_articles"][COLOR=#0066cc]Elizabeth M. Young[/COLOR][/URL][/B] There are many discussions which use "three pillars" as a conceptual construct. In any given field, from psychology, to chemistry, to religion, the "three pillars" is likely to come up in the title and in the development of thoughts. There are many religious and philosophical understandings that use "three pillars" to summarize the major guidance for a person to live by. In 1965, Phillip Kaplau published his understandings of zen as including teaching, or dai-funshi; practice, or dai-gaidan; and enlightenment, or dai-shinkon.1 Kaplau's book has encouraged many to try the practice of Zen, but led to much disappointment in those who had expectations of achieving enlightment, resolution of lifes doubts, or some form of enhanced spiritual state, after going through the processes involved. 2 The three pillars of life in the Sikh religion are defined as naam japna, or meditation on God and reciting the name of God, kirat karni, or willingness to work, honor, and integrity, and vand chhakana, or sharing with and doing good deeds for others.3 The three pillars of life in the Christian religion are defined as the creation, or the way in which we and our world were made by God; the atonement, or Jesus sacrifice during his service in cleansing mankind of sin, and the resurrection, or the miracle of Jesus' return to life after clearly and horribly being killed as a human entity and not a God. In Christian life, the three pillars are on the lines of the Judaic three pillars: Study and knowledge of the Bible and of Biblical history as it leads to worship; A life of worship and prayer for personal joy and well being; and a life of service to God and to the well being of others. In Judaism, the three pillars of life refer to the Torah, or Bible, where it is a "blueprint" for understanding how to live a life of well being and happiness. In learning and receiving the word as the law, both oral and written, a person is led to understanding and to worship of God. Worship is the second pillar, where efforts are made to develop a prayerful orientation, and a community of people who are in worship. The final pillar is loving-kindness where, despite the challenges that life provides, all must strive to love their fellow humans as they love themselves. In the process of achieving the final pillar, the Torah and worship help to achieve a spirit of loving-kindness.5 This construct came from a writer who was providing guidance to individuals in the health professions: knowledge, attitude and practice serve as the guiding principles in life. Knowledge applies to the learning of things and the ability to develop good judgement and discernment. Attitude concerns values, ethics and behaviors. Practice refers to applying the rules and the knowledge appropriately in given situations. 4 [URL="http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1O101-ThreePillarsofZen.html"][COLOR=#0066cc]1.
