He lived between 600 and 400 BCE. Buddha and his followers left no writings, but his rules for monastic life and teachings were memorized and passed down by oral tradition until about the second century BCE when the first Buddhist scriptures were written."]]> 2017-11-08 21:44:36 UTC https://padlet.com/bekahfba/buddhisminchina/wish/205072678 bekahfba https://padlet.com/bekahfba/buddhisminchina/wish/205073793 https://images.chinahighlights.com/allpicture/2014/05/leshan-giant-buddhaf7eae265aaf0_300x400.jpg]]> 2017-11-08 21:47:50 UTC https://padlet.com/bekahfba/buddhisminchina/wish/205073793 bekahfba https://padlet.com/bekahfba/buddhisminchina/wish/205074218 "When Gautama Buddha was 29 years old, he became a disciple of famous teachers in India, learned Hinduism, but wasn't satisfied. Then, he tried to learn the truth by not eating, and body mortification. Because of this he nearly starved himself to death and almost drowned. Then, he ate, meditated and avoided extremes of self-indulgence or self-mortification. He vowed to sit under a tree until he knew the truth, and became Enlightened when he was 35."

The Noble Eightfold Path is: right understanding, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration. He emphasized ethics and understanding."]]> 2017-11-08 21:55:04 UTC https://padlet.com/bekahfba/buddhisminchina/wish/205075693 bekahfba https://padlet.com/bekahfba/buddhisminchina/wish/205076664 "The Longmen Grottoes are on the Yi riverbank. The site is one of the three most important in China for its Buddhist sculptures and carvings; it is famous for its huge number of carvings. 

There are about 2,100 grottoes and niches, over 40 crematory urns, 3,600 inscribed stone tablets and over 100,000 Buddhist images and statues. The most grottoes and caves are on the west hill, while the Xiangshan Temple and Baijuyi's (a famous Chinese ancient poet) Tomb are on the east hill."

Chinese Buddhists may pray to both Buddha and Taoist gods, and they often also pay homage to ancestors believing that their ancestors want their help. For example, they may burn paper that their ancestors can use as money. People who call themselves Buddhists usually have Taoist beliefs."]]> 2017-11-08 22:03:53 UTC https://padlet.com/bekahfba/buddhisminchina/wish/205077772
