HISTORY OF BUDDHISM

Nepal in 560 BCE.

world.

suffering/ misery. Searches for 6 yrs.

enlightenment

awakened. Once he knew what causes
suffering, he began to teach about it
4 Teaches The 4 Noble Truths
1) life is suffering (everyone experiences pain)

2) Source of suffering is desire
3) You can end suffering by ending desire
4) Way to end desire is by following the 8 Fold Path
8 Fold Path:
Siddhartha Gautama was previously Hindu so religion is
somewhat similar. –Belief in reincarnation & karma.
Buddhists believe in the anatman = no soul. Instead of a
soul you have karmic residue that gets reincarnated. You can’t
have an unchanging soul because the entire universe is in a
constant state of change. Nothing is permanent.
Goal of Buddhists is to reach nirvana= a passing out of existence &

a freedom from
suffering. You can only reach nirvana once you have become
enlightened.
Buddha denied existence of god. There is no divine

help. Work it out on your own
through determination Buddha did not accept the caste
system. Buddha= the man/
prince Siddhartha buddha= anyone who has reached
enlightenment
The 3 Jewels of Buddhism

2)take refuge in the dharma (the truth Buddha
taught)

passed and his movement spread
beyond India, Buddhism adopted
as its medium Sanskrit, the Indian
classical language that was widely
used in ancient Asia.

SCRIPTURE
A distinction arose between the
Theravada (“Way of the Elders”),
preserved in Pali and regarded as
canonical, and the vast number of
works written in Sanskrit within
the more widely dispersed
Buddhism called by its adherents
Mahayana (“Greater Vehicle”).
The Mahayana works were later
translated and further expanded in
Tibetan, Chinese, and Japanese.
