Buddhism The Five Precepts Buddhism The Human Condition – o The 3 Marks of Existence o The 1st Noble Truth (Life is Dukkha) o The 2nd Noble Truth (Dukkha is caused by Tanha) The Goals o Karma o The 3rd Noble Truth (You can stop Dukkha by stoping Tanha) o Nibbana The Means – o The Three Jewels o The Noble Eightfold Path / The 4th Noble Truth o The Five Precepts Objective: •To learn what the Five Precepts of Buddhism are We recently looked at the Noble Eightfold Path. That gave an idea as to how a Buddhist is supposed to act. But it didn’t have any definite actions that you should or should not do. The Five Precepts provide more detailed instructions about what you are supposed to do. Buddhism Charades Buddhism Charades Instructions: 1. You will be divided in to groups. One person from each group will leave the classroom, accompanied by your teacher. 2. The person(s) taken out of the class will be told what the Buddhist Precept is, and will then come back in to the Class. 3. The rest of the group have to try and work out what the Precept is from the mime of the person acting. The 1st Precept Negative: Do not take a life Positive: Preserve life and cause no harm The 2nd Precept Negative: Do not take what is not given Positive: Practice being generous and giving. The 3rd Precept Negative: Do not make false speech Positive: Speak truthfully The 4th Precept Negative: Do not engage in sexual misconduct Positive: Respect the feelings of others. The 5th Precept Negative: Do not take alcohol or drugs Positive: Expose your body to healthy things. Task For each precept give 2 examples of what a Buddhist would do to follow each precept. They must be positive actions. e.g. “I undertake to abstain from taking life” 1. Buddhists will always try to take care of plants and animals. 2. A Buddhist would stop to help someone who had been injured. The difference between lay people Buddhist monks and nuns follow the 5 and monks? precepts that regular Buddhists follow. However, they also have to follow an additional 5: 1. Don’t have food at inappropriate times 2. Don’t sing, dance, play music or go to concerts 3. Don’t wear perfume, cosmetics or jewellery 4. Don’t sit on high chairs or sleep on luxurious, soft beds 5. Don’t accept money Why? Question Why did the Buddha choose these 5 things to specify? What do you think is special about them, or what effect might it have to obey or disobey them? Remember: Buddhism doesn’t have a God, so it’s not like there is anyone just making up rules about what is good and bad.
