In this lesson students explore key themes of Buddhism through a study of three statues. Students learn the meaning of the asanas (poses) and the significance of these in Buddhist practise.
We learn the significance of 'Calling the Earth to Witness', Abhaya and the importance of compassion and why meditation is central in Buddhism.
The lesson is on a powerpoint that explains each pose and a supporting worksheet for students to complete as a reminder of their learning. I also have some fun with my students by encouraging them to try the asanas.
This unit has been very popular with year 9 and it serves well as a foundation for further study at GCSE.
There are teacher notes on delivery in the notes section of the powerpoint.
This lesson is then followed by an in depth study of Bhava Chakra aka The Wheel of Life.
