Day 1 There are millions of Buddhists around the world. These are the main key beliefs of Buddhists.

Buddhism is based on the teaching of Prince Siddharta Gautama. Siddharta became known as the Buddha. Enlightenment for Buddhists mean discovering the true nature of everything in life.

Who was Prince Siddharta Gautama? Prince Siddharta was born 2,500 years ago in the kingdom now called Nepal. His father, the king, was told by wise men that his son would be either an important king or an important holy man. The king wanted his son to become a great king so he made sure Siddharta was surrounded by wealth and riches, stayed in the palace grounds and never saw illness, old age or death. In this way, Siddharta would just want to continue his life as it was. Later on, Siddharta married and had a child. By the age of 29 Siddharta became very curious and persuaded his chariot driver to take him outside the palace grounds. It was then that Siddharta, for the first time, saw poverty and a very sick person by the side of the road. Further on he saw a dead person being carried away. He was very upset with all he saw and asked his chariot driver to explain to him about illness, poverty and death. Returning to the palace, Siddharta saw a holy man who was meditating (quiet focus on breath in and out and on the mind). Siddharta was struck by how calm the holy man was and he asked his chariot driver what the holy man was doing. The chariot driver explained that the holy man was trying to understand the truth of all life. In the palace that night, Siddharta decided to leave and never to return until he understood what the truth of life was. For many years Siddharta wandered and searched for the truth of life, meeting with other teachers to learn and meditation. Eventually, he became a wise and popular teacher and found enlightenment. People began to call him Buddha (means teacher). During this week we will look at some of the teachings of Siddharta.

The symbol for the Buddha is the lotus flower. The lotus represents pure thoughts and actions. According to legend, 's first baby steps made lotus flowers appear everywhere he walked. Task How to make an Origami Lotus flower
