Next Concept to review: Buddhism



What are the attributes of a Buddha? Can you label the Usnisha? Urna?

Buddha and Jesus are two examples of HOLY MEN/RELIGIOUS FIGURES from both BEYOND the Western Tradition and the Western Tradition. Find images that show each teaching, praying, taking time for introspection (going away and fasting). How are each shown as Holy compared to others in a scene?

Read the current Smithsonian Magazine article titled Glimpses of a Lost World to read about art in a Buddhist Monastery in the Himalayas.
