The first step in becoming a Buddhist is taking refuge in the Three Jewels. By taking refuge, we commit ourselves to the Buddhist Path and following the Buddha's teachings. The Three Jewels are the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha. They are called jewels because they are the most precious things to Buddhists.
Some people think there is only one Buddha, but there are many Buddhas. The four great Buddhas of our time are:
1. Shakyamuni, the Enlightened Buddha

2. Amitabha, the Buddha of Limitless Light

3. Medicine Master, the Buddha of Healing

4. Maitreya, the future Buddha

Buddhists do not believe that the Buddha is a god. They believe he was a human being who became enlightened, understanding life in the deepest way possible. The Buddha told people not to worship him, but to take responsibility for their own lives and actions. He did not speak of a creator, but of a wonderful force of energy that links all beings together from time without beginning.
Buddhism does not have a bible, but many holy books.
The teachings of the Buddha were passed down by word of mouth and not written down until around 400 hundred years later. They were compiled into three sets and written on long narrow leaves and stored in baskets, called the "Three Baskets" or Tripitaka. The Three Baskets are:

1. Vinaya: Rules of conduct for monks and nuns.

2. Sutras: The Buddhas' teachings (suttas in Pali)

3. Abhidharma: Philosophy
Buddhists believe in karma, the law of cause and effect.
Karma is a fair and just rule. It is like a boomerang. Every action and every thought we have, good or bad, will come back to us in the future. We have a choice to create new karma by what we say, do, and think. Intention is a major part of karma. If we accidentally step on an ant, we do not make negative karma. However, if we intend to kill the ant, negative karma is created.
Buddhists see themselves as part of nature, not apart from it.
They do not kill animals or use insecticides or pesticides.
Buddhists believe in rebirth, that each of us has many lives.
The same way there is yesterday, today and tomorrow, we also have past lives, a present life and future lives. We are born, grow old, die, and then are reborn again. This cycle is called the Wheel of Rebirth or saṃsāra. Actions in one life are likely to affect what we become in future lives. Buddhists say that this cycle can be broken by making kind and wise decisions in everything that we do and say. We can eventually become enlightened and reach a state of perfect peace.

Filial respect for parents and family life is the most important teaching of the Buddha. After his own enlightenment, the Buddha returned to teach his family the Dharma, bringing them peace and happiness. When his father became old and sick, the Buddha stayed by his bedside and washed and fed him.

The Buddha was the first to ordain women and untouchables in the history of religion. He believed that everyone had the same potential for enlightenment. His aunt Prajapati, his wife Yashodhara, and his half-sister Sundhari became the first Buddhist nuns.

Buddhist monks and nuns rely on the kindness of donors for their food, shelter, clothing, and medicine. In Southeast Asia, some monks and nuns go on alms round. They do not ask for food, but silently accept whatever is put in their bowls. This is not considered begging, but an opportunity for laypeople to create blessings.

Lay people are valuable in Buddhism, because they support the monks and nuns, so they can carry on the Buddha's work. In this way the sangha and lay people benefit each other and together keep the Dharma alive.
In some Buddhist countries it is common for young boys to live some time as monks as part of their training and education.

Buddhism originated in India, based on the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, later known as Gautama Buddha. A Buddha is one who is said to be awake to the truth of life. Buddha is a Pali word which means "the awakened one." According to Buddhism, there were countless Buddhas before Gautama Buddha, and there will be many Buddhas after him.

Over the centuries, Gautama Buddha's teachings spread from Nepal to Central Asia, Tibet, Sri Lanka, Southeast Asia, China, Mongolia, Korea, Japan, Europe, North, and South America. Theravada Buddhism is most common in South Asia; Mahayana is most common further north. Buddhism exists in many different strands today, but all versions share basic ideas. About seven percent of the people of the world are Buddhist.

While many people see Buddhism as a religion, others see it as a philosophy, and others as a way of finding reality.

Background and Buddhist concepts

Siddhartha Gautama (563-483 BC) began life as the infant prince of a small kingdom in what is now the southern part of Nepal. As an adult, he left wealth and status behind to search for truth. The Buddha spent the next 45 years of his life traveling and teaching in the northern part of India. He died at the age of 80.

The Buddha focused much of his teaching on how to overcome suffering. He saw that all living things suffer. He taught that by overcoming suffering, a person will be truly happy.

He began teaching holy men or monks the Four Noble Truths of Life and the Eightfold Noble Path (see below). These teachings identify the causes of suffering and their cure. The Buddha taught that there are three marks of existence: He said life is best understood as being impermanent (everything changes), unsatisfactory (left on our own we are never truly happy), and interdependent (all things are linked).

In discussing suffering, the Buddha identified the "three poisons" of desire, anger, and stupidity, and he showed that we could end our suffering by letting go of desires and overcoming anger and stupidity.

The complete letting go of negative influences is called Nirvana, meaning "to extinguish," like putting out the flame of a candle. This end of suffering is also called Enlightenment. In Buddhism, Enlightenment and Nirvana often mean the same thing.

The Buddha taught that living in balance is the best way to live. He called this "the middle way." He also recommended meditation as a way to train the mind to see the world as it is.

The Buddha taught that actions have consequences for good or bad. People who make good decisions will be happier and have more peace of mind. This is called karma.

Another teaching of Buddhism is reincarnation - the idea that when people die, they will be reborn as someone or something else. They live their life the best they can in hopes of reincarnating as something better until they eventually reach enlightenment.

Buddhists would not say whether or not there is a God or gods. Buddhists do not believe that people should look to gods to save them or bring them enlightenment. Instead, they believe individuals should work out their own path the best they can. Many of the Buddha's ideas are found in other Indian religions, especially Hinduism.

Beliefs of Buddhism

The three jewels

Buddhists respect and treasure the Three Jewels, which are the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha.

The Buddha refers to the awakened one, the Dharma to the Buddha's teachings, and the Sangha to the people who follow the Buddha and his teachings.

Buddhists say "I take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha." They find comfort in these jewels or treasures.

Four Noble Truths

The Buddha's first and most important teachings are the Four Noble Truths.

1. Life is suffering.

2. The reason for this suffering is that we want things to be a certain way.

3. The way to cure suffering is to rise above this desire.

4. The way to rise above desire is to follow the Noble Eightfold Path, practices which help us change our minds and understanding.

Noble Eightfold Path

The Buddha told people to follow a special way of life called the Noble Eightfold Path if they want to understand the Four Noble Truths. These are:

1. Appropriate views. Know and understand the Four Noble Truths.

2. Appropriate thought. Turn your mind away from the world and toward the Dharma.

3. Appropriate speech. Tell the truth, don't gossip, and don't talk badly about others.

4. Appropriate conduct. Don't commit evil acts, like killing, stealing, or living an unclean life.

5. Appropriate livelihood. Earn your money in a way that doesn't harm anyone.

6. Appropriate effort. Work to make your mind more good and less evil.

7. Appropriate mindfulness. Remember the Dharma and apply it all the time.

8. Appropriate meditation. Practice meditation as a way of understanding reality.

Five precepts

Buddhists are encouraged to follow five precepts, or guidelines:

1. I will not hurt a person or animal that is alive.

2. I will not take something if it was not given to me.

3. I will not engage in sexual misconduct.

4. I will not lie or say things that hurt people.

5. I will not take intoxicants causing heedlessness.

If a person wants to be a monk or nun, he or she will follow other precepts as well.

Interesting facts about Buddhism

The term "Buddhism" was invented by Western scholars in the 1830s. Buddhists don't refer to their religion as "Buddhism."

The Buddha founded an order of monks and nuns known as the Sangha who have preserved his teachings.

Because of its emphasis on meditation and mindfulness, Buddhism is often considered to be a form of psychology rather than a religion.

In Buddhism, there is no single holy book.

Buddhists do not believe in a supreme being or creator God.

A Buddha is a person who has reached enlightenment.

Buddhist monks and nuns shave their hair.

In Buddhism, each person must work their way to enlightenment.

What is Islam?

Those who follow the Islamic faith are called Muslims and there are around 1.9 billion Muslims in the world today. This makes Islam one of the world's largest religions , in fact the second-largest religion after Christianity.

Islam is a monotheistic religion, meaning Muslims only believe in one God. The Islamic God is named Allah, the Arabic for God.

It's believed Islam was founded over 1,400 years ago in Mekkah, modern-day Saudi Arabia. Similar to Christians and Jews, Muslims believe that the word of their God was revealed to them through the prophets. However, it is believed in Islam that the Prophet Muhammad was the final prophet who taught Allah's law and revealed the Islamic faith through the angel Gabriel.

We explore some of the traditions, beliefs, history, and culture of the Islamic faith.

The Symbol of Islam

There's no single image or symbol of Islam that is accepted universally by all Muslims.

However, the star and crescent symbol is the most commonly associated symbol of Islam. But it has little to do with the actual faith and its origins are unclear. The crescent moon and star image is believed to predate Islam and is actually the symbol that used to be on the flag of the Ottoman Empire. This was the dominant Muslim power for nearly 700 years. It's now linked with the religion but isn't the official symbol of Islam.

Certain colors have also become very symbolic in Islam and the two most prominent ones are green and white. The color green is mentioned many times in the Quran as the color of clothing in paradise, which is why it's been associated with Islam for centuries.

The 6 Articles of Faith in Islam

The Quran states that there are 6 articles of faith in Islam. They are

There is only one God, Allah.

The belief that Allah passes messages down to Earthbound prophets through Angels.

The books of Islam should be respected because it is the unchanged words of Allah.

All prophets should be respected but not worshiped.

The belief that life on Earth is just a test, once they die Muslims believe they will be put before God and judged for their actions. They will then be sent to Heaven or Hell.

Muslims believe that Allah has a master plan and everything that happens in the universe is predetermined and cannot be changed.

What are the Five Pillars of Islam?

It is in the Quran, where the five main duties of Muslims are stated. These are known as the Five Pillars. The Five Pillars of Islam are:

Shahadah: The declaration of faith and belief in Muhammad. Muslims repeat this several times a day.

Salah: The 5 prayers completed daily.

Hajj: Making a religious pilgrimage to Mekkah at least once during a person's lifetime if able.

Why are the Five Pillars of Islam Important?

The Five Pillars of Islam are very important, practicing them shows that a Muslim is putting their faith first. The Five Pillars are the main frameworks in a Muslim's life and plays a part throughout their every day activities and beliefs.

Following these will also allow Muslims to live a good and responsible life that also brings them closer to God.

What is the Hijab in Islam?

Use our wealth of information below to help teach your pupils about the hijab principle in Islam, how it's manifested, and what it means for those who practice Islam...

Hijab comes from an Arabic word which means "barrier" or "partition". The hijab in Islam has a more specific meaning because it relates to the principle of modesty in behavior as well as the way that Muslims are expected to dress. So, we can think about the hijab as a principle that is observed or followed by people of the Islamic faith.

Some Muslims believe that hijab refers to the complete covering of everything apart from the hands, face, and feet in long, loose, opaque pieces of clothing. A woman who wears a hijab is called Muhaajaba.
Where does the hijab in Islam come in?
Women of the Islamic faith are required to follow the full hijab principle when in front of any man that in theory, they could potentially marry. This means that Muslim women do not have to completely observe the hijab principle when in the presence of their male family members, so their father, brothers, grandfathers, uncles, or children. It is also not seen as completely necessary for Muslim women to wear something that shows their observation of the hijab in front of other Muslim women.
Forms of the hijab in Islam...
As we now know, the hijab is a principle of Islam which states that those who follow the faith should show modesty in one way or another. Because of that, it's often interpreted in a range of different ways by the variety of people who practice the Islamic faith.

Lots of Muslim women will be seen to wear garments that cover their full body, only exposing their eyes. Some cover every part of their bodies except their face and hands. Others are known to believe that only their hair or chest needs to be hidden, whilst some Muslim women don't observe any particular principles of dress.

Many Muslim women use what is known as a khimaar to cover their hair, ears, and neck whilst outside the home. In English-speaking countries, there is often the misconception that this is called a hijab. Other observations of the hijab include hanging a curtain or some form of a screen between men and women to save them changing dress. This is not so popular now, and was mainly used in the early days of Islam for the wives of the Prophet Muhammad.

However, elderly women are not obliged to follow the hijab principle, as directed in this extract from the Quran:

"Such elderly women as are past the prospect of marriage - there is no blame on them if they lay aside their (outer) garments, provided they make not a wanton display of their beauty: but it is best for them to be modest: and Allah is One Who sees and knows all things" - 24:60

The Awrah
Awrah is an Arabic word that refers to the parts of the body that must be covered in public. For men, it is expected that everything between the neck and the knee are awrah, or covered at all times. For women, there are a few more rules, which we will explore below:

When with unrelated men, some are obliged to cover everything except their hands and face.

Among close male family members, some believe that awrah should be from the neck to the knee.

When with Muslim females, awrah is sometimes from the neck to over the knees.

We know that those who follow the Muslim faith follow these commands from their holy book by covering up certain areas of their bodies in particular situations, depending on who they hold company with.

The Islamic Calendar

The Islamic calendar determines the days of Islamic holidays and rituals. The Islamic holidays and rituals are:
Ramadan
The annual period of fasting and the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. Muslims across the world take part in Ramadan, a month of fasting, prayer, reflection and community.

Ramadan is regarded as one of the Five Pillars of Islam and requires Muslims to fast from sunrise until sunset for 29-30 days.

For more information about Ramadan, take a look at this Ramadan Teaching Wiki for facts about this holiday in Islam for kids.
Hajj
Hajj is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and marks the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mekkah. Hajj takes place during the last month of the Islamic calendar and requires every able person to take part in Hajj at least once in their life.

Hajj is the world's largest annual gathering.
Eid al-Adha
The celebration of the Prophet Abraham's sacrifice of his son for Allah, Eid (translating to 'festival' in Arabic), is the time when friends and family join together and worship at their mosque, gift each other with presents and donate money to charity.
Eid al-Fitr
The Festival of the Breaking of the Fast, Eid al-Fitr celebrates the end of Ramadan and similarly to Eid al-Adha is a time for joining and eating together.

More Islamic Celebrations
Eid al-Ghadir
Shia Muslims all around the world take part in huge feasts for the Islam celebration of the prophet Muhammad appointing his successor.
Mawlid al-Nabi al-Sharif
This Islamic celebration is of the birth of the prophet Muhammad. This is celebrated in the third month of the Islamic calendar. Poetry and songs were often performed to the crowds. Most Muslims approve of this celebration but there are some who believe it to be an illicit religious innovation. Countries such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar no longer celebrate Mawlid al-Nabi al-Sharif.
Laylat al-Qadr
This is the Islamic celebration of the Night of Destiny or the Night of Power. In Islam, it is believed to be the night that the Quran was sent down to Earth from Heaven and the first verses were told to Muhammad. The specific date of Laylat al-Qadr is not known or written in the Quran because Allah came to Muhammad in a dream and as he went to tell theSahabah (his companions), he was distracted by people fighting in the street.

What Happens After Death in Islam?

Belief in life after death is one of Islam's Six Articles of Faith. This means it's an essential belief for all Muslims.

They refer to the afterlife as ' Akhirah' and believe that when we die, we remain in our graves until the end of the world. This is known as Yawm al-din, the Day of Judgement. The date on which the world will end is known only to Allah.

On this day, everyone who has ever lived will be resurrected and brought before God for judgement. Allah will judge each person based on the way they lived their life.

Those who have lived a good life, by performing more good deeds than bad, will enter Jannah (heaven). Jannah is described in the Quran as a 'garden of everlasting bliss' and a 'home of peace'. There's no sickness, pain or sadness.

Those who have lived a bad life and performed more bad deeds than good, will enter Jahannam (hell) which is described in the Quran as a 'place of fire'. It's a place of physical and spiritual suffering.

Muslims believe that Allah is merciful, forgiving and compassionate, so good deeds are thought to outweigh the bad. Allah will forgive those who have repented for their sins and are given a chance to redeem themselves, so they can enter heaven.

However, there are some sins that many Muslims believe to be unforgivable, which include the sin of shirk. This means believing and worshiping other Gods.

Angels play several roles in the idea of life after death in Islam. Recording angels note down everyone's deeds and give them to Allah to use as information to judge them.

Before Judgement Day, two angels called Munkar and Nakir, question the souls of the dead about the religion they followed throughout their life. After this, an angel called Israfil will sound the trumpet that signals the beginning of the resurrection of the dead.

Why do Muslims Believe in Life After Death?

Muslims believe that Allah is in charge of their lives and decides how long they'll live. The Quran states that the good will receive reward, whilst the bad receive punishment.

Life after death in Islam is central to the meaning and purpose of most Muslims' lives. They believe they are on Earth for a relatively short time and during this time, they are preparing for eternal life after death.

Islamic Stories for Children

The Crying Camel

It was a hot day and the people who lived in the city of Medina were searching for somewhere to keep cool. The city had many beautiful gardens with tall shady trees, and people came to sit under them before the mosque.

The Prophet Muhammad was walking in one of the gardens. He took shelter from the heat and thought quietly as he walked, smiling at people he knew as he passed them.

While he was walking, Prophet Muhammad heard a strange noise. It sounded like someone crying. Whoever it was, they sounded very upset. As The Prophet came closer, he realized that it wasn't a sad person, but a camel.

The camel was tied to a post, hot and thirsty in the baking heat. Muhammad felt sorry for the camel as he saw tears streaming down its cheeks. He stroked the camel and it became calmer. Gradually, the camel's howls turned to grunts, and then from grunts to snorts of pleasure. The camel stopped crying as he knew that Muhammad was his friend.

Muhammad became angry, and strode along the pathway calling, "Who owns this camel?"

At last, a voice replied, "I do," and a man stepped out from under the shade of a tree. Muhammad looked at the man and saw that he was not hot, nor was he thirsty, and he certainly wasn't thinking about his camel. Muhammad spoke quietly to him, and as the owner realized his mistake, his head began to droop.

Muhammad had reminded him that the camel was one of Allah's creatures. It would work hard for the man, carrying heavy loads and travelling to places far away. The man should take great care of the camel for its hard work.

The camel owner was full of regret and sorrow. He had mistreated his camel and upset Prophet Muhammad. He was ashamed, so from that day on he looked after his animals with great care and always made sure they had enough to eat and drink. The camel never cried again.

Islamic stories for children like this convey the message that animals are Allah's creation and therefore deserve to be cared for.

The Islamic story of The Prophet and the Ants

One evening, as the sun set, all the ants returned home after a busy day of collecting food for their nest.

As they arrived, they saw clouds of smoke moving towards their nest. The air was hot, and the ants scurried away quickly when they sensed the fire nearby.

Suddenly, a voice came from above, saying, "Look what you've done. You've built the fire too close to the ants' nest. The creatures will get burnt!" It was the voice of The Prophet, who was camping near the ants' nest with some of his followers who'd lit the fire.

Upon hearing The Prophet's words, the campers put out the fire immediately and the ants were saved. The Prophet stressed that all creatures are important to Allah and that we should look after them.

Islamic stories for children like this show that all animals, no matter how big or small, are important to Allah.

Islamic Creation Story

In the space before time began, there was just Allah. And when Allah wanted to create something, all he had to say was 'be' and it became.

Allah created the world and the heavens. He made all the creatures, which walk, swim, crawl and fly on the face of the Earth. He made the angels, and the sun, moon and stars to dwell in the universe.

Allah poured down the rain in torrents and broke up the soil to bring forth the corn, the grapes and other vegetation; the olive and the palm, the fruits trees and the grass.

Allah ordered the angels to go to the Earth, and to bring seven handfuls of soil, all of different colors, from which he could model man. Allah took the seven kinds of earth and molded them into a model of a man. He breathed life and power into it, and it immediately sprang to life.

Islamic stories for children about creation are stories about how the world came into existence, and are a great way to introduce the topic.

Teachings of Adam in Islam

Adam is one of the most important figures that feature in the Quran.

Adam, in Islam, was the very first prophet and human being. Muslims believe that Allah created Adam from clay. He was given the ability to think logically and was told to be the representative of God, the Khalifah.

It is believed by many Muslims that Adam built the Ka'bah - the very first and most sacred place for Muslims to worship in Mecca. Muslims learn about who they are and their purpose on Earth through the teaching of Adam and the forgiveness of his sins.
