RME – Buddhism

Recently, in Room 4, our RME topic has been Buddhism. We have been studying things such as, who the Buddha is, and how the religion really started. We have been working on this for a while now and we have learned many things.

Some of the research includes finding out what they believe in, what restrictions they have, and the history of Buddhism. We found out that meditation plays a great part in Buddhism, along with staying calm, and realising that sometimes, things happen, and that’s that.

We learned about what the eight-fold path is. It includes Right Concentration, Right Understanding, Right Effort, Right mindfulness, Right livelihood, Right Action, Right Intention and Right Speech. It is said that if you follow the eight-fold path, you will uncover inner peace and understanding of life.

The Buddha was a Prince, named Prince Siddhartha. He was born into the lap of luxury and never witnessed anything ugly or unpleasing. One day, he left the palace, and saw the four sights; Old age, death, pain, contentment/holiness. He decided to give up his riches and leave on his own to find the answer to people’s suffering. He is now known as the Buddha.
