Before Watching
-
Assign groups to research the basic tenets of Buddhism such as:
Who was Buddha? What do Buddhists believe? How do Buddhists view
nature? Where is Buddhism practiced today? By how many people?
Have students record their findings. Conclusions may vary as
Buddhism is extremely complex and many interpretations of
Buddhism exist. Be sensitive to students who may practice
Buddhism. As they watch, organize students into groups and have
each group take notes about different areas of Buddhism revealed
in their initial research.
After Watching
-
Have students combine what they learned in the program with
their research and report their final notes about Buddhism. Did
anything in the program change or add to what they learned in
their earlier research? What, if any, further questions do they
have?
-
An anthropologist is a scientist who studies human beings both
in the past and in the present. Ask students to come up with
reasons that anthropologists would be interested in the religion
or religious art of a society. What might be learned from
studying a society's religion?
