The “Revolution The “Revolution: Boston Bloody Boston” is a film that describes how Americans were living before and during the British invasion. The American army had been involved in various battles where it recorded successive failures. The American soldiers were weak at that time, and so they could not match the British military power because it was the world’s most powerful nation during the 1760s. The British, which later become the American’s colonial master, assumed that it would scare any American’s revolutionist movement that would rise against it. However, the British invaded American territories to establish its colonial power to the Americans. The film enhanced my understanding of the American Revolution by explaining causes such as taxation and justified the rebellion of the Sons of Liberty to the colonial policies. The film demonstrates that the British invasion of the United States was the cause of the American Revolution. Thomas Hutchinson, the British representative of its colonies, imposed forced taxation on the American people, thus angering them in 1756 (“The Revolution: Boston Bloody Boston” 00:01:51-00:02:00).

Sutra Reflections The ultimate goal in the Buddhism doctrine is usually the achievement of an unshakable deliverance of the mind.  In this sense, deliverance refers to the freeing of the mind from all limitations and bonds that tie a person’s life to the cycle of birth.  A notable aspect of this deliverance is the focus placed on an individual’s role in their deliverance and enlightenment achievement.  In the Brahmajala Sutra, the Buddhist teachings on the path to enlightenment are extended to the need to focus on individual reason, careful not to be drawn away by others’ characters. In this Sutra, the Buddha advises the monks against being resentful at the wanderer’s disdain for Dharma since this would only hinder their enlightenment achievement. According to the Buddhist teachings, a person’s spiritual development is usually achieved by completely overcoming the hindrances which block the road to spiritual progress during meditative absorptions. As this Sutra teaches, anger or ill will would hinder the achievement of ultimate enlightenment by corrupting the monks’ minds in bitterness and hate for the wanderer. It then follows that…
