Buddh Poornima- 2018 (Videos)

Buddhism is a non-theistic religion based upon the teachings of Buddha, a sage who lived in India sometime between the fourth and sixth century BCE.

Buddha’s teachings are based upon the teachings of others who preceded him. He aimed to teach his disciples how to live an enlightened life and how to minimize human suffering.

The Four Noble Truths are:

• The truth of suffering
• The truth of the cause of suffering
• The truth of the end of suffering
• The truth of the path that leads to the end of suffering

The Eight fold Path is part of the fourth noble truth which is the path that leads to the end of suffering. Buddha taught that the way to achieve enlightenment and to minimize human suffering was to live an ethical life.

The Buddha’s message of goodwill and understanding to all beings is a universal message. The world today needs this noble message more than ever before in the history of humankind.

Enjoy the following stories from the life of Buddha.

A book is the only place in which you can examine a fragile thought without breaking it, or explore an explosive idea without fear it will go off in your face. - Edward P. Morgan

Books are our most valuable and trusted friends. This thought was echoed by class 5 Primus students in their activity- '' If I could meet a character...."
Students wrote their reasons for wishing to meet their favourite character from particular books. They also wrote on what do books mean to them in their life. Students came up with their own interesting views.
