In the Krishna Vishnu story, what references do you see to the concepts of Dharma, Moksha, or Karma? Please explain. And how does Arjuna’s hymn of praise express an understanding of the Supreme Being Brahman, whom the film references?

This week’s writing is shorter than in past weeks. The idea is to connect what you learned from the films about the different religions to the mythological stories in our textbooks.

Choose either the story of Krishna-Vishnu or the story of Amateratsu, and write an answer of about 250-300 words on ONE of the following two questions:

1. In the Krishna Vishnu story, what references do you see to the concepts of Dharma, Moksha, or Karma? Please explain. And how does Arjuna’s hymn of praise express an understanding of the Supreme Being Brahman, whom the film references?

OR

2. In the Amateratsu story, what references do you see to the idea that the Kami are natural forces/forces of nature, as the Shinto film segments detail? Please explain. And in what sense does this story suggest that there is, as the film on Buddhism details, a need for an end to suffering through an end to craving?
