Reincarnation
• Central to Hinduism is the
belief in reincarnation.
Hindus believe that after a
person dies, they will be reborn as some other creature
or thing.
• What you are re-born as
depends on your “Karma” or
the deeds you did in your
previous life.
• If you did good deeds, you
will reborn into a higher,
better life. If you had bad
Karma, you may be re-born
as an insect or even a tree.
Why do many Hindus wear a dot near the middle of their
forehead?
It represents a divine sight and shows that one is a Hindu.
Buddhism
Siddharta Gautama
•
Around 566 BC, Siddharta Guatama was born
in India. He was a prince who was kept
isolated inside a beautiful palace and not
allowed to see the real world.
• One day he left the walls of his palace and saw
the pain and misery of life. He decided from
then on that he needed to find a way of living
that would allow people to find peace in life.
• He spent many years trying different ways of
life, following different philosophies. Finally he
came up with his own way, which is now called
Buddhism.
• Gautama became known as Buddha, which
means “enlightened one.” He developed the
Four Noble Truths and The Eightfold Path.
Eightfold Path: In brief, these are
the laws of the Eightfold Path:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
To know the truth
To intend to resist evil
To not say anything to hurt others
To respect life, property, and morality
To work at a job that does not injure others
To try to free one's mind from evil
To be in control of one's feelings and thoughts
To practice appropriate forms of concentration
• The Laughing Buddha: Have you ever seen a ceramic or
carved representation (a statue) of the Buddha, perhaps in a
Chinese restaurant, or for sale in a store, or in your home or
garden?
• Have you ever wondered why the Buddha is laughing?
• The laughing Buddha reminds us that to be happy we need
to have a loving heart. A big heart gives you tolerance. It
helps you to greet each day with joy and all people with
gladness. It helps you to tolerate a great many things with a
big happy smile that reaches your eyes and your heart.
• Buddha says that the best way to solve a problem we might
have with someone else is to have a warm and loving heart.
The Dalai Lama or
“Spiritual Teacher”
• Today, Buddhism is a major world
religion. There are over 300 million
Buddhists in the world.
