Why are they doing this? Buddhism The Goals Nirvana Karma - The universe is governed by a natural law, Karma. Your actions have consequences for you. If you do something good, something good may happen, if you do something bad something bad may happen. Buddhism The Human Condition – o Life of the Buddha o 3 Marks of Existence o Life is Dukkha (suffering) o Dukkha is caused by Tanha o Samsara (Cycle of Rebirth) The Goals o Karma o Nirvana Nirvana = The Goal In this part of the course we examine what Buddhists believe about how good human life could be. We’ve learned about what karma is and how it is through building up good karma we can get closer to being happy. But happiness isn’t just about having good things happen to you. It’s not like Tesco club points, oh no, according to Buddhists it’s much, much more than that. But what is the Buddhist idea of happiness? Nirvana = The Goal The Buddhist goal is to achieve Nirvana. This is considered to be true happiness and the complete cessation of all suffering. However this is not to be confused with the Christian idea of Heaven. It’s not a place where you get everything you ever wanted, or where you’re reunited with loved ones. It happens to you while you’re still alive. Recap 1.

Put the following into the correct columns: - nirvana (Nirvana) The three marks of existence Dukkha -Tanha Samsara -karma (Karma)
