Buddhism Worksheet

Write a 90- to 175-word response for each of the following:

1.      Explain the basic Buddhist teachings, including the three marks of reality, the Four Noble Truths, and the Noble Eightfold Path. 

2.      Describe the three major Buddhist traditions—Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana—and how each tradition developed from the early teachings.

• Summarize the history of Buddhism and the life of Buddha.
• Explain the basic teachings and moral aspects of Buddhism.
• Explain what makes the school of Buddhism you selected unique.

Use your own words.  If you use a source, it must be in quotes and be listed in the bibliography.  Quotes should be less than 20% of the word count.  Use quotes to bolster what you have learned when researching the paper.  I know that your sources likely know their stuff; but I am grading you and want to make sure you know it as well.

Format citations and references consistent with course-level APA guidelines.

Submit your assignment to the Assignment Files tab. There will be two documents that you need to turn in: the Worksheet that you filled out and the research paper.  Both should be in your own words.
