Buddhism Introduction

The Buddha Born as Siddhartha Gautama, in Nepal in around 2500 years ago He was a prince in a Hindu kingdom in northern India and Nepal His father tried to shield him from suffering, because he wanted his son to become a great king The name “the Buddha” means “Enlightened One

Siddhartha’s Journey While outside his palace, Siddhartha witnessed suffering for the first time He saw 3 examples of suffering: An old man, a sick man, and a dead man Later, he came across a poor man who was a calm and peaceful holy man Witnessing suffering and peace, Siddhartha left his wife and newborn son to become a religious ascetic, to look for answers

Enlightenment Siddhartha travelled from teacher to teacher for 6 years, but failed to find the true answers to his questions He developed a “middle way” between his old life of luxury and his new life of extreme self sacrifice He decided to sit and meditate for 49 days, in which he had a spiritual struggle with the evil god Mara Through Enlightenment, the Buddha learned how people can escape suffering, attain complete peace, and enter nirvana

The Birth of Buddhism At the age of 35, the Buddha gave his first sermon, called the Dharmachakra, or the Wheel of Dharma Teaching people about the nature of human existence and what people must do to free themselves from suffering The teachings of the Buddha were written down by his followers, 400 years after his death

Bodhisattva A person who is able to reach nirvana, but puts off full enlightenment in order to help others who suffer The word means “enlightenment being” The Buddha himself, after attaining enlightenment, decided to stay on earth to teach others

Buddhist Monks Monks are responsible for preserving and sharing the teachings of the Buddha The Buddha was the first Buddhist monk, but he learned the practice from older types of wandering ascetics

Mandalas Originates in Hinduism A spiritual and ritual representation of he Universe Used as a way to focus attention, meditate, or as a spiritual guidance tool to create a sacred space In Buddhism, it is most often used as an aid in meditation

The Dalai Lama 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso Born in 1935 in Tibet Tibetan Buddhists believe the Dalai Lamas are reincarnations of the Bodhisattva of Compassion Dalai Lamas were the government leaders of Tibet until the Chinese invaded in the 1950s “Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.”

Buddhist Temple The place of worship for Buddhists Traditional temples are designed to inspire inner and outer peace

Mantras Buddhist prayers Sequences of words or syllables that are chanted in repetition Chanted to help towards enlightenment The most common Buddhist mantra is “Om Mani Padme Hum” which is the mantra of the Buddha of Compassion

Prayer Wheel Traditionally, the mantra “Om Mani Padme Hum” is written on the wheel The belief is that spinning the wheel will have the same effect as orally reciting the prayers

Prayer Flags Used to bless the surrounding landscape The five colours of the square flags represent the five elements: blue for sky and space, white for wind and air, red for fire, green for water, and yellow for earth Decorated with mantras that are spread to everyone when the wind blows the flags
