1. The Brahmanical Period (c. 1500-600 BCE) is VERY significant in Hinduism. Essentially, the Indo-Aryan tribes conquered the indigenous Dravidians. This is the period, over time, that the caste system developed. How are the 4 purposes and stages of life correlated with the four specific castes?
2. Describe the cyclical process of reincarnation. How does it differ from the linear thinking of Western religions? (use my notes and your texts to answer this, plus any other reliable info off the Internet that you feel helps you to explain reincarnation).
3. You need to know the Buddha’s story… the details of his early life explain his need to find a path/way to enlightenment. You need to know the Legend of the Four Sights, the Four Noble Truths, the Middle Way (path of moderation), and the Eightfold Path. On page 149 of WRAm is the following quote: “For someone who looks at religion through Western eyes, the most intriguing aspect of Buddhist worship is that it does not need to involve anything like a belief in God.” Respond to this idea that Buddhism is an atheistic religion. Do you agree or disagree? Then consider whether you can be a Christian yet follow Buddhist practices.
