Answer 1

Answer:

In this lesson, educators use a retelling of a traditional folk tale from India that illustrates how different people can have distinctly different perceptions of the same thing. Students discuss how each blind man's argument differs when understanding an elephant. Even when presented with a real elephant, each man could "see" only what he already believed to be true. The story and this lesson is intended to encourage students to develop perspective awareness—awareness that each of us creates a unique view of the world based on personal experience, language, and culture.

Answer 2

The story of the Elephant and the Blind Men can be an analogy of everyday experiences in the following ways.

• This is a story found in the Buddhist text Tittha Sutta Udāna 6.4, Khuddaka Nikaya.
• It describes how humans tend to make claims of knowing absolute truth with only limited knowledge and a biased perspective.
• Parallels of the nature of this event can be found in our everyday lives.  
• Whenever we have a conflict with our parents, siblings, or friends we tend to focus on only our view of the situation not even thinking about how others may feel about the same situation.
• A holistic and more level-headed approach to the situation may help us to see other factors involved in the situation that might have been occluded to our eyes before.
• Accepting that you do not know the absolute truth and being willing to view events from others' perspectives will be very healthy for all relationships and help massively with conflict resolution.
