Dharma 7: The first class focused on defining and distinguishing between two commonly interchanged words that make up the course title: Ideals and Values. The students learned that ideals include the "big picture", goals, ambitions, and looking up to role models, while values are the beliefs, traits, and actions we live by. The students collaborated in pointing out many positive values such as honesty, nonviolence, fairness, etc. One of the key ideas delivered through this class was that values alone are not enough; it is following Dharma that leads us to the right path, as there is clear evidence through stories like the Ramayana and Mahabharata where many with great values go down the wrong path.
The homework assigned for next week is to ask a parents/guardian what Dharma means to them (not the same as "religion).
