Life of Buddha Story & Quotes Knowledge Organiser
This resource is a summary sheet which can be used from A Level studies in Religious Studies, to Upper Key Stage 3, if studying a topic on Buddhism.
Good for Knowledge Organisers, for ‘front of book summary sheets’ and even classroom displays if A3!
Alongside all knowledge follows judicious and easy to learn quotes, for use with exam classes who would need to cite them to supplement their explanations.
It contains the following information:
In the form of a flow chart - The Conception Story, The Birth Story, The Prophecy, His Early Life, The 4 Sights and then the renunciation.
It then discusses the middle way, reaching enlightenment, the battle with Mara, the earth-touching Mudra, and then a brief into of the 4 Jhanas.
It then looks at The Lakhanas, the Social and historical Context of the Buddha’s birth.
It then follows with big concepts of Buddhism, such as Samsara, Karma & Karma’s Role in Samasara.
Finally discusses the 3 poisons and the ultimate goal of Buddhism.
This directly follows the Specification for Theme 1 A & B in the Eduqas A Level Option D: Buddhism, although can be used for more than that!
