About This Lesson
The powerpoint describes Buddhism and includes Buddhist images students can observe, question, and draw inferences. The Buddhism Do Now is 3 questions that exemplify Buddhism (the Noble Truths, Eightfold Path, and that caste doesn't matter). The third document is a description of the Buddha's 10 Duties of a King and Excerpts from the Pillars and Edicts of Asoka, asking students to relate the Eightfold Path to Buddha's 10 Duties of a King AND Buddha's Ten Duties to Asoka Edicts. The fourth is a description of the four noble truths and the eightfold path with tasks for each.
