Where this this lesson fits: This is the sixth lesson in the unit. Pupils should now have a general understanding of what it means to care for others. Pupils will have learned about how Christians, Muslims, Sikhs and Hindus are encouraged to show thanks, care for others, including all living things. This lesson explores how Buddhists are encouraged to lead a peaceful and enlightened life. Further enrichment: This lesson could be enriched with a B uddhist visitor coming to school to talk to the pupils about their beliefs and religious stories teaching about what caring for others should look like, how to care for others and why. This lesson links with Unit C1.3 How can we make good choices? It can be included in either or both units to suit the needs of school. Possible misconceptions: Depending on the pupils involved, this could be a sensitive topic of discussion. Pupils in class may have different religious or worldviews. Enable pupils to listen to others’ points of view and encourage tolerance and understanding. Resources needed: See slide 3 for resources needed for each slide.

Buddhists share stories about caring for others to encourage followers to do this in their own lives. We are going to look at two Buddhist stories. They are about helping others and being happy. These stories teach about finding peace and contentment - enlightenment . Explanation: How do Buddhists encourage caring for others?
Siddhartha Gautama was a prince who grew up in luxury. Inside the palace he was shielded from ageing, sickness and death. One day he left the palace walls. He was upset by the sickness and death he saw. However, he also saw a monk and thought he looked peaceful amongst this suffering. Siddhartha wanted to feel this peace too. Explanation: Story: How Siddhartha became the Buddha
One day, while meditating under a tree, Siddhartha became enlightened . He was free from both desire and suffering. He became the Buddha . He went about teaching others about this enlightenment . Explanation: Story: How Siddhartha became the Buddha
Long ago, the Buddha was born as a monkey. He was brave and clever and became the leader of a whole troop of monkeys. The monkeys lived in a mango tree next to a river and happily ate the delicious fruit. The monkey leader told all the monkeys not to let the fruit fall into the river in case they were found by humans. A single mango fell into the river without the monkeys realising. The mango floated down river to a city, where humans lived. The mango was fished out of the river and given to the king. He took a bite and loved it! He wanted more and took a band of soldiers up the river to find them. Explanation: Story: The Monkey King
The king found the mango tree and the monkeys enjoying eating them. The king wanted all the fruits to himself, so he ordered the soldiers to shoot the monkeys. The monkeys could not escape and were frightened. All, except their leader monkey. He calmly leapt across the river with his mighty strength and found a strong creeper vine that he could create a bridge for them all to run across to freedom. The monkey leader made sure all the monkeys were across before thinking about himself and his own safety, he even used his body to create a part of the bridge. Explanation: Story: The Monkey King
The monkey leader became sore and tired from holding the creepers and making the bridge. His back was broken. The human king was amazed when he saw what happened. The monkey leader had shown such concern and care for his monkey subjects! The human king ordered his soldiers to help the monkey leader to the ground. He helped the monkey leader onto a seat and paid honour to him as a king. He praised his efforts in looking after all the other monkeys even at the cost of his own life. The monkey king, with his dying breath, reminded the human king that the duties of a ruler are to look after his own citizens first. Explanation: Story: The Monkey King
Buddhists learn how to live a peaceful and good life. Buddhists try to show peace and kindness to other living things. Explanation: Buddhist teachings
