Asoka says:• All men are my children. What I desire
for my own children, and I desire their welfare and happiness both in this world and the next, that I desire for all men. You do not understand to what extent I desire this, and if some of you do understand, you do not understand the full extent of my desire.

Objective #31
![Page 29: Bellringer](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081517/56813e1d550346895da7fea3/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Hinduism’s Problems
• Some people did not like–Inequality–Inaccessibility (need priests to
interact with gods for you)
![Page 30: Bellringer](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081517/56813e1d550346895da7fea3/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The Solution• A new faith, started by a Hindu prince
who meditated on the world’s problems• Siddhartha Gautama grew up sheltered
from the world. When he left his palace, he was shocked by what he saw–Became the founder of Buddhism
![Page 31: Bellringer](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081517/56813e1d550346895da7fea3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Buddha• Siddhartha left his life in a palace to seek
wisdom• No one he met had any• So he meditated under a tree until he
finally discovered the truth about the world–He became known as the Buddha:
awakened or enlightened one
![Page 32: Bellringer](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081517/56813e1d550346895da7fea3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Four Noble Truths1. To live is to suffer2. Suffering is caused by desire3. To end suffering, you must get rid
of all desires4. To do so, follow the Eightfold Path
to enlightenment
![Page 33: Bellringer](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081517/56813e1d550346895da7fea3/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Get on the path!• Tear a sheet of paper into 8 squares• On four of the squares, write down
things that cause you to suffer• On four of the squares, write down
things that you desire• Crumble each square into a ball
![Page 34: Bellringer](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081517/56813e1d550346895da7fea3/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Get on the path!•Rid yourself of your suffering and desires! •Throw them at the recycling bin!
![Page 35: Bellringer](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081517/56813e1d550346895da7fea3/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Nirvana• Buddha and his followers believed he
had achieved enlightenment, what they called nirvana• Enlightenment can be achieved by
acting, thinking, and believing in the proper way• Nirvana ends your soul’s reincarnation
![Page 36: Bellringer](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081517/56813e1d550346895da7fea3/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Karma• Buddhists believe in karma, much like
Hindus• Instead of determining caste, karma
provides your reincarnated self with desirable qualities (wealth, beauty, influence, etc.)• Karma is based on your intentions, not just
your actions
![Page 37: Bellringer](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081517/56813e1d550346895da7fea3/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Solving Problems• Hinduism has inequality–Buddhism rejects the caste system. All
Buddhists belong to the religious community (sangha)
• Hinduism is inaccessible, requires priests–Buddhism is very personal, individual
meditation and self-improvement–Can reach nirvana in a single lifetime
![Page 38: Bellringer](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081517/56813e1d550346895da7fea3/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
About Buddha• Buddha is not a god! “Buddha” is a
title granted to Siddhartha Gautama• Fat Buddha, and Buddha worship, is
a later Chinese development
