i'm thing about this unit ! C:

The hinduism is a very interesting culture of which i learn a lot in this unit.
The religion,  meditates many gods, semi gods and demons mainly related to the creation and the nature as for example Visnú (preserver) or Shivá (destructive God).
Also we have other culture, the Egyptian culture. We red a short story about this culture and the story tell us of the God Ra, he was the God most powerfull also the story tell us about his life like pharaon in egypt

The other story that we red was about abortion, this story was called "Hills of white elephant", in this story  there was a pair who decided to abort, having always in it counts the possibility of repenting and of the risks that existed. The tale i like because that it was speaking about many feelings of a metaphorical, entertaining and very interesting form.

The unit in general was very entertaining and help me to understand other points of views

Abortion & the precepts.

-For the buddhist the fertilization is when the humans life commences, but as a consequence the abortion is contrary about the first precept .

-the abortion is prohibited in everything who has a PAÑA an that means “life”, so in that culture the abortion is prohibited to everyone who lives like a fetus.

-in medical context is one of the bodily humours understood as the force underlying biological growth.

- any ambiguity there may be thought to be in the first precept with respect to abortion is removed to the equivalent precept in the vinaya.

- the commentary explain that the prohibition applies from the moment of conception.

- the motives reported in the sources for seeking an abortion include concealing extramarital affairs as when a married woman
pregnant by her lover.

-there are a lot of literature about abortion like the stories of “The Dhammapada”, “The petavatthu”, “Jatakas”, etc.

-Jatakas is a book and in it ,narrate the evil consequence of abortion
