Buddhism Journal: How are Buddhism and Hinduism similar? How are they different? Early Buddhism in India Founded by Siddhartha Gautama (born about 563 B.C.) According to legend, Gautama was raised in a pampered lifestyle but then he encountered an old man, a sick man, a corpse, and a monk Gautama was impressed by the monk and himself determined to take up an ascetic, wandering life to help him understand the phenomenon of suffering Siddhartha Gautama About 534 B. C., Gautama left his family to take up the existence of a holy man Intense meditation and extreme asceticism did not enlighten him sufficiently One day he resolved to sit under a large bo tree until he understood the problem of suffering For 49 days he withstood various temptations and threats from demons and finally received enlightenment Thus Gautama became the Buddha– “the enlightened one” The Buddha by Odilon Redon Buddhist Doctrine Buddha announced his doctrine publicly at the Deer Park of Sarnath in 528 B.C. Delivered the “Turning of the Wheel of Law” sermon which marked the beginning of Buddha’s quest to promulgate the law of righteousness Dhamekha Stupa is believed to mark the place of Buddha’s first sermon Four Noble Truths Suffering is a part of all existence Suffering has a cause – Selfish desires Suffering can be overcome by destroying selfish desires If a man follows the Eightfold Path, he will destroy selfish desires and end all suffering. Noble Eightfold Path Right belief Right resolve Right speech Right behavior Right occupation Right effort Right contemplation Right meditation Lead a balanced and moderate life Reject both the devotion to luxury and extreme asceticism found by hermits. Dharma Taken together, the teachings of the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path constitute dharma, the basic doctrine shared by all Buddhists 6th Century Buddha sitting on a lotus blossom which symbolizes purity and strength because it is able to thrive and grow even in murky water The Middle Path or Moderate Way Avoid extremes– either an overt pursuit of passionate worldly desire or extreme asceticism Live a moderate lifestyle characterized by quiet contemplation, thoughtful reflection, and disciplined self-control Reduces desire for material goods and other worldly attractions Eventually results in detachment from the world itself Nirvana Living this lifestyle will lead to personal salvation– escape from the cycle of incarnation and the attainment of nirvana Nirvana is the state of perfect spiritual independence The Wheel of Dharma symbolizes samsara, the continuous cycle of birth, life, and death. One is liberated from this endless cycle of rebirth when nirvana is achieved. Venn Diagram Create a Venn Diagram of Both Hinduism and Buddhism. Completed Venn Diagram
