Buddhism Project

For this project I would like you to research one aspect of Buddhism and make a
poster. Your poster needs to be the size of two A4 papers. For any topic you pick
you will be assessed on the extent to which you answer the following questions.
1)
2)
3)
4)

How does this aspect of Buddhism relate to Buddhism as a whole?

How does it contribute to their faith or the acting out of their faith?
What are the symbols and meaning connected to this aspect?
How is this aspect of Buddhism a contextualization of the Buddhist faith in
local culture?
5) Would Siddhartha Gautama have supported this aspect?
Your project will be started in class and then finished outside of class. You will need
to cite your sources and have at least three sources. Citation can be in MLA or
Chicago format. You will present your project to the class in 3 to 5 minutes on
Thursday, March 17th. They will be due that day. Have fun!
