Buddhism
What is Buddhism?
Buddhism is the religion of over 520 million people, primarily concentrated in East and Southeast Asia.
The religion began in the fifth century BCE in India and Nepal, growing out of the teachings of Gautama Buddha.
Buddhism does not center on a supreme deity. Many of its varieties do not imagine anything supernatural at all.
Is Buddhism a “religion”?
“Everything that arises also passes away, so strive for what has not arisen.”
At the heart of Buddhism are three “jewels”:
1. The Buddha
2. The Dharma (teachings)
3. the Sangha (community)
The First Gem: The Buddha
Around 500 BCE, a loosely defined kind of ascetic spirituality was flourishing in northern India.
Landowning castes – Brahmins and Kshatriyas
Ascetics (Sramana) rejected Brahmin practices of wealth accumulation and animal sacrifice.
The birth of Shakyamuni
Shakyamuni / Siddhartha was born between 488 and 624 BCE – the traditions differ.
Tradition says that his enlightenment was nearly perfected across hundreds of previous lives. In our world, he was born to a ruling family in southern Nepal.
His birth is accompanied by signs and omens. It takes place in a park – he is immaculately conceived.
The Four Sights
Siddhartha sees:
1. A sick man
2. A suffering old man
3. A dead man
…
…
4. An ascetic who is serene and detached from the world.
Siddhartha admires this man and gives away his princely possessions. He travels and masters yoga.
Siddhartha embarks on a path of extreme asceticism, starving and thirsty.
This does not give him the enlightenment he seeks.
Disillusioned with asceticism, Siddhartha moves to Bodh Gaya and re-enters the comforts of the world.
He begins to comfortably meditate under a large fig tree.
Just before dusk, Siddhartha resists the assaults of greed, boredom, and desire, and then fear and anger.
He meditates to move deeper into consciousness, rather than unconsciousness.
Enlightenment
Just before dawn, Siddartha achieves enlightenment.
“I had direct knowledge. Birth is exhausted, the Holy Life has been lived, what was to be done is done, there is no more of this to come.”
He has achieved nirvana. Nirvana means
Being beyond desires
Feeling transcendent happiness
He sets out to spread his message across India.
The wheel of Dharma turns again
He explains his doctrine to his former companions.
This explanation is called the first discourse or sutra, called “Instruction on the Middle Path”.
Buddha explains that enlightenment only came when he
1. renounced the luxury of his princely origins
2. renounced the extreme asceticism of his early spiritual seeking.
Progress only comes through moderation, the “Middle Path”.
Parinirvana
After 45 years of preaching, Buddha falls ill after eating a bad meal his host had served him.
As he weakens, he instructs his disciples not to follow a human successor, but only the dharma.
He reaches parinirvana – the final end of the cycle of deat ...

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Music: Brokedown Palace Soundtrack
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJuaRZeBPR8oJlYRy943-_TFsMTkHSkFV
2. Intro to Buddhism
• Buddhist do NOT “worship” Buddha!
• Buddha = Symbol of Pure Enlightenment
• Realize your own “Buddha-Nature” (divine essence) thru
Enlightenment
3. Siddhartha Guatama (c. 6th century BCE)
• Birth & Prophecies
• Life &
Enlightenment
• Sermon at Deer Park
(Sarnath):
“4 Noble Truths”
“8-Fold Path”
• Death & Nirvana
5. Birthplace: Lumbini, Nepal
Lumbini is the traditional
birthplace of Gautama
Buddha, the founder of
Buddhism (born in the 6th
century BCE).
Lumbini (Sanskrit for
"the lovely") is a Buddhist
pilgrimage site located at
the Nepalese town of
Kapilavastu, district
Rupandehi, near the
Indian border.
6. LUMBINI is one of 4 Buddhist Pilgrimage Sites based
on major events in the life of Gautama Buddha.
(Interestingly, all of the events occurred under trees.)
The other 3 sites
are in India:
1) Bodh Gaya
(Enlightenment)
2) Sarnath
(1st Sermon)
3) Kushinagar
(Death)
7. Queen Māyā of
Sakya: the birth mother
of Siddhartha.
"Māyā" = "illusion" or
"enchantment" (Sanskrit).
Also called Mahāmāyā ("great
Māyā") or Māyādevī ("Queen,
literally 'goddess,' Māyā").
24. When day came, Gautama had attained perfect
illumination, and had become a Buddha.
The rays emanating from his body shone to the boundaries
of space.
He stayed in meditation for 7 more days, and then for 4
more weeks he stayed by the tree.
25. Through his process of enlightenment he discovered
that all sentient beings in this universal life possess
buddha-hood, and all are future potential buddhas.
26. From that time he had two
alternate paths: 1) he could
enter Nirvana immediately,
or 2) he could stay and
spread Enlightenment.
After Brahma came in person to
beg him to preach the law,
Buddha yielded and stayed
on the earth.
For 45 years he traveled and
taught his wisdom about
the force of love and the
destruction of all desire.
27. 45 years of Teaching & Wandering…
…gaining many Followers
on the way.
28. Before the Buddha's death, he became severely ill.
He lay down on his right side, right hand supporting his
head, the other resting on his body. (All reclining
Buddhas are in the same posture.)
29. Growing weaker, he spoke:
"Do not say we have no
master now. The
doctrine I have
preached will be your
master when I have
disappeared.
“Listen, I beg you: ALL
CREATIONS ARE
IMPERMANENT; work
diligently for your
liberation."
30. “PARANIRVANA” = Death of the Buddha
His last words: “Be
your own refuge, with
awareness, strive on!”
He entered into deep
meditation, then into
blissful ecstasy, then
achieved NIRVANA.
At Kusinara, he died of
old age, under a tree,
lying on his right side.
31. The “Middle Way”
The practices Buddha
advocated in the quest
for Enlightenment
avoided the extremes of
sensual self-indulgence
on the one hand and self-
mortification on the other
and thus he gave his
“Noble 8-fold Path” the
alternative name of “the
Middle Way.”
33. 1st Sermon: “Turning the Wheel of the Law”
Dharmachakra Mudra:
“Turning the Wheel of the
Law in Motion.”
The fingers of the left hand rest
against the palm of the right hand (as
if turning the wheel, made by the
index finger and thumb of the right
hand).
Signifies the teaching of the
1st Sermon of the Buddha at
Deer Park (Sarnath).
34. “The 4 Noble Truths”
1. To LIVE is to SUFFER.
2. Cause of Suffering: ATTACHMENTS.
3. To end Suffering, END ATTACHMENTS.
4. To end Attachments, follow the “8-FOLD PATH.”
36. 8-Fold Path Breakdown
WISDOM: 1) right views, 2) right intentions
ETHICS: 3) right speech, 4) right action, 5) right
livelihood)
MENTAL DISCIPLINE: 6) right effort, 7) right
mindfulness, 8) right concentration…
…which ultimately lead to liberation (“NIRVANA”) from
the source of suffering (attachments).

Symbols” called ASHTAMANGALA. These symbols include:
1) LOTUS FLOWER: Purity & the 3 stages to Enlightenment.

FOOTPRINT OF THE BUDDHA (“Buddhapada”):
The footprint of the Buddha is an imprint of 1 or both of
Guatama Buddha’s feet. There are 2 forms: 1) Natural, as
found in stone or rock, and 2) those made artificially. Many of
the "natural" ones, of course, are acknowledged not to be
actual footprints of the Buddha, but replicas or representations
of them, & also an early aniconic & symbolic representation of
the Buddha.
45. LOTUS
SYMBOLISM:
The roots of a LOTUS are
in the mud, the stem
grows up through the
water, and the heavily
scented flower lies
pristinely above the
water, basking in the
sunlight.
This pattern of growth
signifies the progress
of the soul from the
1) mud of materialism,
through
2) the waters of experience,
and into
3) the bright sunshine of
Enlightenment.
46.
47. TRIRATANA:
The “Triple Gem” or “Three Jewels”
of Buddhism, which are the 3 core
values of:
1) Buddha
2) Dharma (the teachings)
3) Sangha (the monastic community)
The triratna symbol is a simple three-
branched shape, like a rounded
'W.' The triratna appears in early
Buddhist art in various contexts, but
especially as one of the symbols
on the Buddhapada, or footprint of
the Buddha.
The triratna is often accompanied by
lotus flowers symbolizing
Enlightenment, and the
dharmachakra (wheel), symbolizing
the Buddha's teachings.
48.
49. MOUNT MERU:
Center of the Buddhist universe:
Axis Mundi
Multiple levels of heaven rise from
its peak
Surrounded by 7 concentric rings of
mountain ranges, alternating with 7
seas
Next the Great Ocean, with 4
islands (1 where we humans live)
Everything contained by final, huge
wall of rock
50. AXIS MUNDI:
The axis mundi (also cosmic axis,
world axis, world pillar and center of
the world) is a symbol representing
the center of the world where the
Heaven connects with Earth.
Different cultures represent the axis
mundi by varied symbols.
It may be feminine (an umbilical
providing nourishment), masculine (a
phallus providing insemination into a
uterus), or neither.
It appears in many world-wide
cultures—wherever the impulse
persists to link a tower with the idea of
a "world center."
51. MANDALA:
A sacred geometric figure that
represents the universe. The word
"mandala" comes from a Sanskrit word
that generally means "circle," and
mandalas are indeed primarily
recognizable by their concentric circles
and other geometric figures.
When completed, a mandala becomes
a sacred area that serves as a
collection point of universal forces.
By mentally entering a mandala and
proceeding to its center, a person is
symbolically guided through the
cosmos to the essence of reality.
By constructing a mandala, a monk
ritually participates in the Buddha's
teachings.
53. STUPA: Buddhist religious monument.
Originally only a simple mound of clay to
cover relics of the Buddha. After the
paranirvana of the Buddha, his remains
were cremated, ashes divided & buried
under 8 stupas with 2 further stupas
encasing the urn & the embers.
CHAITYA: Buddhist Hall of Worship—has
a mini-stupa inside.
VIHARA: Dwelling places for wandering
monks (monastery). Evolved into centers of
learning and were repositories of sacred
texts.
KORA: Clockwise circumambulation of
the stupa is Buddhist practice done in the
morning and afternoon.

54. Stupa:
Buddhist religious

simple mound of clay to
cover relics of the Buddha.
After the paranirvana of the
Buddha, his remains were
cremated, ashes divided &
buried under 8 stupas with 2

urn & the embers.
59. 2 Traditions of Buddhism:
1) Theravada
(“The Teaching of
the Elders”):
oldest / orig
2) Mahayana
(“Greater Wheel”)
60. In the development of Buddhism
after the Buddha’s death several
schools and traditions arose.
Most of them ceased to exist (being
absorbed by others) and today we
have 3 main “schools” of Buddhism:
1) Theravada (Burma, Cambodia, Sri Lanka,
Thailand)
2) Mahayana (India, China, Korea, Japan)
3) Vajrayana (Tibet)
Within each school there are different
traditions.
Modern scholars tend to divide the
schools according to the LANGUAGE
used. Mahayana schools are
Sanskrit-based schools, and
Theravada are Pali-based.
