Week 2: Religious Views
I am adding this entry in late as I have realized that I forgot to add it during the week it was discussed. I found this material very interesting as it clarified to me many of the perspectives different religions had toward marriage. I was very fond of some of the elements that the different religions contained.
The Buddhist view on marriage views the institution as a union between man and women where equality exists in the relationship. I thought this was a view well ahead of its time. Equality is something that our society is striving for. The Buddhist religion has been around for hundreds of years yet this has always been one of their views on marriage.
As I was highly interested in the Buddhist view on marriage I found this website helpful in presenting the Buddhist views on marriage. http://www.purifymind.com/ViewMarriage.htm
