The noble Gautauma Buddha conveyed, “Holding onto anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.” For centuries, Buddha’s teachings, such as this moral of rage leading to self-deprecation, has resonated with thousands of vexed souls including the eminent Mauryan Empire ruler from 269 B.C.E to 232 B.C.E, Ashoka Vardhana Maurya. As the third emperor of the world’s largest empire at its time, Ashoka was one of the first rulers to become a patron of Buddhism, enforcing the laws of the Dharma and instructing government officials to inscribe Buddhist edicts on rock pillars in various locations. After his military campaign of annihilating the independent feudal state of Kalinga, …show more content…
Ashoka secured his throne by massacring ninety-nine brothers, sparing only the youngest brother. He was a human and animal sacrifice enthusiast as he followed the Brahmanical religion that included a ritualistic system in which sacrificial ceremonies were a norm.* Ashoka vivifies the concept of a “hell on earth” by building a prison in the Mauryan capital of Pataliputra that is centered around pilgrimage, torture, and executions, thus classifying this torture chamber as “Ashoka’s Hell.”* Moreover, legend states that Ashoka administered a test for his ministers to test their loyalty and, as a result, killed 500 of the ministers who failed.* Ashoka even burned his harem filled with women to death when some of his female subjects insulted him for his rough skin.* Through his countless atrocities, it is evident to perceive that this ruthless emperor was a sadistic fiend who gained pleasure from the suffering of others. Nevertheless, this sadistic soul had an epiphany in which inflicting pain on others only causes more suffering not only to the victims but also to the individual. This realization derives from the aftermath of the Kalinga
When Norse F. Rabalais who was born and raised in Simmersport, Louisiana (Avoyelles Parish) was a child there was no navigation lock to lower ships to the Mississippi, the water just poured out, ships with it, and flowed into the distributary known as Atchafalaya. A lot of parishes above New Orleans and quite a bit north of Baton Rouge (Louisiana’s capital) there’s a navigation lock in Mississippi’s bank allows ships to drop out of the river. Because of nature, they drop up to thirty-three feet then can go west or south. This is something very strange and rare between the river and its adjacent terrain. That adjacent terrain is known as Cajun country. The local parishes are Pointe Coupee Parish and Avoyelles parish.

The Sunjata is named after the originator of the thirteenth-century Mali Empire. The heroic story relates the adventures and the life of Sunjata (otherwise called Sundiata or Son-Jara) from his youth when, as a result of a curse, he could not walk only crawl, to his banishment with his family, and lastly to his turning into the triumphant King of the Mandinka and extending his empire. There are numerous variations to the Sunjata epic, yet the essence of the story continues to stay the same throughout all stories. Sunjata is the child of the King of the Mandinka, Maghan Kung Fatta, and one of his spouses, Sukulung, an agnostic with a supernatural mind. Sunjata's ultimate rival is his older half brother, Dankaran Tuma. Dankaran Tuma's mother puts a curse on Sunjata that leaves him unable walk; he has no choice but to crawl on all fours until his adolescence, and it was at this time his mother provided him with a staff made from a sacred tree and orders him to rise. Upon the passing of the King, Dankaran Tuma rules for a small amount of time before the sorcerer Sumanguru usurps the throne of Mali. Sumanguru is cautioned by soothsayers, in any case, that Sunjata is bound to wind up ruler. To

The island is somewhat isolated, most political matters are handled locally between it's people, this is due to the islands history.

Prior to the ruling of Emperor Ashoka, kings, emperors, and rulers were rarely thought to be representations of God. Ashoka was the ruler of the Mauryan Empire which stood in India from 273 BCE to 232 BCE. The Mauryan Empire included most of India's grounds as well as what is now known today as Bangladesh and Pakistan. Once conquering Kalinga, Asoka sought to find a Guru, seeking enlightenment. After sitting beneath the Bodhi tree, Asoka became a more fulfilling leader. Throughout Asoka's life, he had proven himself to be an enlightened ruler by seeking Buddha, creating the Asokan edicts, and acting out on his best interests for his people.

Just as Buddhism unified Japan during arduous times, it also helped unify India under Ashoka’s command. Ashoka fought great battles and imposed his rule on people southward along the eastern coast of India. The sufferings created by the war disturbed Ashoka and he found relief in the religion known as Buddhism. He adopted Buddhism to bring equality to all and found great comfort knowing the religion was so accepting.
One of Ashoka’s most convicting beliefs was the abstention of harming any living being. This is evident by his conversion to peace loving Buddhism after the gruesome Kalinga war. However, he did make it clear that if his subjects did not reform or submit to his rule, he would have to punish them
