Religious Studies–Buddhism

PLEASE READ SYLLABUS BEFORE BIDDING!! The attachments include the course syllabus WITH INSTRUCTIONS for this assignment, one of the written responses that I have submitted thus far, and the reading I’d like for this response, which is John Dunne’s “Thoughtless Buddha, Passionate Buddha.” Response 1 earned an A- so please use that as reference for what the professor is looking for in our writings. I also have additional written responses due for the remaining units, as pointed out in the syllabus. I’d like to use the same writer for all of these submissions. It’s imperative that the writer have a religious studies background and be willing to communicate with me frequently.

Please focus on this part of the reading for the topic:

Pgs 527-528

“Thus, a buddha ought to be passionless and non-conceptual, but how and why would such a being teach? When confrontedwith this problem, Buddhist philosophers are obliged to make some choices. In terms of a buddha’spassion, one might choose to reject the traditional on in Indian and admit passionlessness (vrtaragata) religions
emphasis that a buddha is desirous or “passionate.”The other possibility is to claim that a buddha can still teach even without desire. The same kinds of choices must be made when dealing with conceptuality. Buddhists must either admit that buddhas use concepts and thus accept the problems that arise from such a position;or Buddhists must assert that a buddha can still teach without using any concepts at all.”
