Buddhism By: Natalia Date: 3 June,2013

Origin  Began in Nepal.  Around 566BC.  A Prince who went to see the world and found many horrible things. He decided he was to find a way to solve the probems of the earth. He spent 6 years of learning and meditating, after this he found the path of enlighten and then created Buddhism. This prince was now named Buddha.

Core Beliefs  Re-born in different forms depending in how you lived your life.  You are to find the enlighten path in your life.  If a person releases their attachment to desire and the self, they can attain Nirvana.  Nirvana is the highest state that someone can attain, a state of enlightenment, meaning a person's individual desires and suffering go away.

Core Beliefs-The three practices Sila: Virtue, good conduct, morality. This is based on two fundamental principles: -The principle of equality. -The principle of reciprocity. Samadhi: Concentration, meditation, mental development. Developing one's mind is the path to wisdom. Prajna: Discernment, insight, wisdom, enlightenment. This is the real heart of Buddhism. Wisdom will emerge if your mind is pure and calm.

Core Beliefs-4 Novel Truths  The Buddha's Four Noble Truths explore human suffering. 1. Dukkha: Suffering exists. 2. Samudaya : There is a cause for suffering. 3. Nirodha: There is an end to suffering. 4. Magga: In order to end suffering, you must follow the Eightfold Path.

Sacred Places  Lumbini, Nepal: Buddha’s birth place.  Kushinagar: Buddha’s dying place.  Sanath: First peaching was done here by 5 monks and Buddha.

Sacred Symbols and Objects  Wheel of life: symbolizes the Buddhist perspective on life and contains within it numerous symbols of Buddhist themes and teachings.  Wheel of dharma: it represents the teachings of the Buddha. The Buddha was the one who "turned the wheel of the dharma".

Sacred Symbols and Objects  Lotus Flower: A pattern of growth, it signifies the progress of the soul from the primeval mud of materialism, through the waters of experience, and into the bright sunshine of enlightenment.

Festivals  Wesak: Buddha’s Birthday.  Asalha: It means pay respect to Buddha and It is the birthday of the first teaching.  Buddhist new year: In Theravadin countries, Thailand, Burma, Sri Lanka, Cambodia and Laos, the new year is celebrated for three days from the first full moon day in April. In Mahayana countries the new year starts on the first full moon day in January. However, the Buddhist New Year depends on the country of origin or ethnic background of the people.

Religious Leader  Buddha.  Created the religion.  Siddhartha Gotama was born into a royal family in Lumbini, now located in Nepal, in 563 BC. At 29, he realized that wealth and luxury did not guarantee happiness, so he explored the different teachings religions and philosophies of the day, to find the key to human happiness. After six years of study and meditation he finally found 'the enlightenment path' and was enlightened. After enlightenment, the Buddha spent the rest of his life teaching the principles of Buddhism — called the Dhamma, or Truth — until his death at the age of 80.

Present Day  376 Million people believe.  Beliefs have not changed much.  No promise was made by Buddha. He only made people understand the religion.  Buddhism has evolved into myriad schools that can be roughly grouped into three types: Nikaya, Mahayana, and Vajrayana.

Laws and Morals-5 Precepts  Behaviors to avoid. 1. Do not kill. 2. Do not steal. 3. Do not lie. 4. Do not misuse relationships. 5. Do not consume alcohol or drugs.
