Buddhism… A 2500 year old tradition that began in India and spread and diversified throughout Asia A philosophy, religion, and spiritual practice followed by more than 300 million people Based on the teachings of the Buddha

Who was the Buddha? Born Siddhartha Gautama – of noble caste in India, 563 B.C.E. Raised in great luxury to be a king Felt empathy for the suffering of others; At age 29 rejected the life of luxury to seek enlightenment and the solution to suffering Followed a strict ascetic lifestyle for six years

The Buddha, cont. Rejected this extreme, sat in meditation, achieved Nirvana – an awakening to the truth about life, becoming a Buddha, (Awakened One) at the age of 35 Spent the rest of his life teaching others how to achieve the peace of mind he had achieved

What did the Buddha teach? The Four Noble Truths: All life is suffering The cause of suffering is desire & attachments The solution is to eliminate desire and attachment, thus achieving Nirvana (union with the universe and release from the cycle of rebirth) The way to Nirvana is through the “Eightfold Path”

What is the Eight-Fold Path? Wisdom: 1. Right understanding 2. Right motivation Moral discipline: 3. Right speech 4. Right action 5. Right livelihood Mental discipline: 6. Right effort 7. Right mindfulness 8. Right meditation

What do Buddhists believe? Once Gautama Buddha died, he ceased to exist Buddhism is non-theistic: Buddha is not the Buddhist god – he is just a revered teacher

How is Buddhism similar to Hinduism? Both faiths believe in… Nonviolence Reincarnation Moksha / Nirvana
