Buddhism Collection

Buddhism is based on the teaching and example of one man, the Buddha, an Indian prince named Siddharta Gautama, who lived about 2,500 years ago. See a replica of Buddha and explore the signs and symbols of Buddhism and the Buddhist way of life. A typical box includes prayer flags, mandalas, a prayer wheel, ghanta, incense, offering bowls, images and prayer beads. Religious artefacts are special objects to the people who use them. Their value is symbolic, not monetary. Discuss familiar things that are precious but have no monetary value, such as an old teddy bear. Invite pupils to bring their own special object into school to make a display alongside the objects special to Buddhists.
