The evaluation was conducted to 62 children (the entire population of the study). This was based, in one hand, on the maturity model in the application of ABC Filho L. Test, which assesses the maturity by means of 8 subtests that reference the necessary components for the acquisition of reading and writing. On the other hand, and from a constructivist perspective, it was appreciated the approach and recognition that children show while they face literacy through the application of a technique called “Hypothesis Testing” based on Teberosky and Ferreiro’s theoretical assumptions. The results indicate that half of the study population is at a medium level of literacy maturity and, between the third and fourth level of alphabetic writing system acquisition. In these results, children of institutions of middle and high socio-economic status predominated (45%).

Overall, Buddha’s message is focused, argumentatively, in its four noble truths. In a critical reading and hermeneutics, the words of the great heresy of Hinduism become signifiers of a theory of perception that underlies the psychology of desire and an epistemology of illusion, that is, a deep, meta-psychological meaning which speaks of the accession of a self to its objects (internal or external), and the resulting distortion of the image or content originating from a desire to stay in the self and its perceptions. Some basic ideas about Buddha and his teachings will be presented, beginning with the conditions of his birth and his existential and spiritual journey. Some light will be shed on some considerations on the Four Noble Truths and ultimately psycho-epistemological aspects of the Buddhist system, particularly the writings of dhamma as Pãli Canon, which are the oldest source.
