Module 10 video

Buddhism



1- I chose this video because I thought it would be interesting to learn in depth facts and details about the religion Buddhism.
2- The religion Buddhism began in India by the name of Siddhartha Gautama. His father was the king and he had everything he could ever want in life. Gautama one day saw the world differently after seeing people living sickness and on the streets. He wanted to send the message of love, gentleness and serenity. Gautama wanted to share his enlightment with people for support. The teaching of Buddhism spread through India. After Gautama died Buddhism spread 2 different ways, the monks and Vinaya. During the 3rd and 7th century Sanche became the center of the Buddhist art and architecture. The great stoop is where people and pilgrims go to admire the Buddha gallery and life. Pilgrims from all parts of India made their way to the great stoop and the great gateway.
3- This video added more depth to my learning of Buddhism religion by showing more detailed photos and places that explains and symbolizes Buddhism.
4- I really liked this video. I am happy I chose it because it was interesting to watch and it wasn't boring like some other videos we have watched.

Hinduism-
1- I picked this video because I am interested in learning about the different cultures and religions from millions of years go.
2- I learned that the Great river Ganges was a powerful symbol to the Hinduism people. It was symbolic for god's love of earth and people. To the Hinduism people they believed in death and re-carnation. They used to burn people when dead because they believed their spirit and soul would come back to life. The Christian Hindu's believed in millions of years through rebirth and death. In the video they had a ceremony representing mother nature of the great river Ganges. Oil lamps were offered and were important in art and architecture. Hindu's invested in tiny shrines and their decorations.
3- The text and video do provide similar information about Hinduism. The video shows ceremonies, what they do to dead bodies and how the great river Ganges affects their way of living.
4- I liked this video because it taught me many things about the Hindu's. I thought it was interesting their perspective on birth and re-carnation along with rebirth and death.
