The paper argues that the ecological crisis is fundamentally a crisis of consciousness and values, not merely a scientific or political problem. Comparing Sri Aurobindo and Henry David Thoreau, it shows that both thinkers reject the dualistic separation of humans from nature, instead viewing nature as a living expression of a higher reality. Aurobindo's Integral Consciousness and Thoreau's transcendental vision are presented as complementary paradigms that ground ecological sustainability in inner transformation, ethical responsibility, and spiritual awakening. The study contributes to environmental humanities and comparative eco-spirituality by bringing Eastern Integral Philosophy into dialogue with American Transcendentalism.

Buddhist Yogācāra consciousness theory offers a complete cognitive system that unifies perception, affect, identity, and habitual cognition, which can improve contemporary second language acquisition (SLA) models. The theory's eight consciousnesses, including manas and ālaya-vijñāna, relate to SLA processes such as input processing, affective filtering, identity negotiation, implicit learning, and long-term memory consolidation. Manas provides a new perspective on anxiety and self-efficacy, while ālaya-vijñāna corresponds to procedural memory and implicit learning. Teachers can apply Yogācāra principles to encourage mindfulness-enhanced attention, design identity-aware instruction, and develop curricula sensitive to students' memory processes, leading to a more integrative understanding of language learning.

An analysis of Phani Mohanty's Odia poem Ahalyā argues that it is fundamentally an ontological poem investigating the evolution of Being through silence, memory, waiting, suffering, nature, and spiritual awakening. The author contends that the stone in the myth represents the primordial condition of Being before self-consciousness, not merely punishment. Silence is presented as a metaphysical language, and waiting as the existential structure of human life. Redemption signifies ontological awakening, not miraculous deliverance. The poem is positioned within world philosophical poetry and debates in comparative literature, phenomenology, myth criticism, and Indian philosophy.

The Buddha's life events—birth, enlightenment, and death—are not merely historical but serve as powerful symbols conveying core Buddhist teachings: impermanence (anicca), non-self (anatta), suffering (dukkha), and the ultimate bliss of nirvana. By examining original texts and scholarly interpretations, the article argues that these symbolic narratives make profound spiritual truths accessible across Buddhist traditions and remain meaningful for contemporary audiences.

Vipassanā meditation, rooted in Theravāda and Mahāyāna Buddhist traditions, offers a framework for ethical transformation in Vietnam's rapidly changing professional landscape. By cultivating mindfulness, equanimity, and insight into impermanence and dependent arising, practitioners develop attentional regulation, emotional balance, and ethical discernment at work. Unlike secular mindfulness focused on productivity, Vipassanā is an ethically oriented practice that reshapes one's understanding of moral responsibility. Drawing on canonical texts and modern scholarship, the paper argues this practice integrates work, ethics, and liberation, presenting a culturally situated model where professional life becomes a domain for ethical and contemplative growth.
