Explore the features, objects and symbols found within Buddhist sacred spaces with this beautifully designed classroom display resource.
Part of the Sacred Spaces collection, this pack introduces pupils to key features they may see, hear or encounter in and around a Buddhist temple or centre, explaining their purpose, meaning and significance within Buddhist practice.
The pack includes a large Sacred Spaces: Buddhism - Temple centrepiece alongside 11 matching illustrated information cards covering Buddha Image, Shrine, Offerings, Meditation Cushions, Incense, Prayer Wheel, Prayer Flags, Stupa, Singing Bowl, Lotus and Monastic Robes.
Pupils can explore how Buddha images and shrines provide a focus for reflection and devotion, discover the significance of offerings and meditation, and learn about distinctive features including stupas, prayer wheels and prayer flags. The resource also introduces sensory elements pupils might encounter within a Buddhist sacred space, including the fragrance of incense and the sound of a singing bowl.
The cards introduce key Buddhist vocabulary and concepts in context, including Buddha, enlightenment, meditation, impermanence, mantra, stupa, relics and Sangha, helping pupils connect physical features of sacred spaces with Buddhist beliefs and practices.
Care has been taken to reflect the diversity of Buddhist traditions and cultures. The cards explain where particular features are associated especially with Tibetan Buddhism and acknowledge that objects and practices can vary between different Buddhist communities.
Designed with a consistent, museum-inspired aesthetic, the cards can be arranged around the large Temple centrepiece to suit your available display space. Try connecting the individual cards to the centrepiece using coloured string or ribbon to create an eye-catching Sacred Spaces feature wall.
Ideal for KS3 Religious Education, Buddhism units, places of worship topics, Buddhist temple visit preparation and follow-up, classroom and corridor displays, revision areas and whole-school RE displays.
