Buddhism is a transformative teaching that encompasses various systems of philosophy(prajna), meditation(samadhi), and ethics(sila). Although Buddhism is often classified as a major world religion, this classification is disputed by some scholars. This is because a Buddha is not a god, nirvana(the Buddhist goal) is not a heaven, and a Buddha cannot save anyone through religion as there is no soul to save. The major goal is to be free from the cycle of suffering(samsara). 1, record 1, English, - Buddhism

Le bouddhisme est un enseignement transformateur qui englobe divers systèmes de philosophie (prajna), de méditation (samadhi) et d'éthique (sila). Bien que le bouddhisme soit souvent classé comme étant une importante religion mondiale, cette classification est contestée par certains érudits. Ceci vient du fait que Bouddha n'est pas un dieu, le nirvana (l'objectif bouddhiste) n'est pas un paradis, et Bouddha ne peut sauver qui que ce soit à travers la religion parce qu'il n'y a pas d'âme à sauver. Le but ultime est de se libérer du cycle de la souffrance (samsara). 1, record 1, French, - bouddhisme

Le mot Lumières définit métaphoriquement le mouvement intellectuel, culturel et philosophique qui a dominé, en Europe et particulièrement en France, le XVIIIe siècle auquel il a donné, par extension, son nom de siècle des Lumières. Les Lumières ont marqué le domaine des idées et de la littérature par leurs remises en question fondées sur la «raison éclairée» de l'être humain et sur l'idée de liberté. Par leurs engagements contre les oppressions religieuses, morales et politiques, les membres de ce mouvement, qui se voyaient comme une élite avancée ouvrant pour un progrès du monde, combattant l'irrationalité, la superstition et la tyrannie des siècles passés, ont procédé au renouvellement du savoir, de l'éthique et de l'esthétique de leur temps. Leur rôle a été déterminant dans les grands évènements de la fin du XVIIIe siècle que sont la Révolution française et la déclaration d'indépendance des États-Unis d'Amérique. 3, record 4, French, - Lumi%C3%A8res

One of the early triumphs of the "Eightfold Way" was the prediction of the existence of a heavy subatomic particle required to complete one of the groups. The particle, called omega-minus, was discovered in 1964. The name was suggested by the analogy with the Eightfold Path(or Way) central to Buddhism and applied by Gell-Mann to this particle classification because of the centrality of the number eight. 1, record 14, English, - Eightfold%20Way
