About Buddhism

GoConqr Original

What this unit covers

The page lists resources made by GoConqr users on Buddhism, with a strong focus on core beliefs. The mind map Buddhist Beliefs lays out the Four Noble Truths: Dukkha, Samudaya, Nirodha and Magga. The map The four noble truths covers the same ground in a different layout, so you can compare how each author breaks it down.

Other maps look at the Noble Eightfold Path, Nibbana and the Three Universal Truths. Story of Siddhartha follows the Buddha's early life, and Zen Buddhism looks at its Chinese and Japanese influences, including Mahayana Buddhism and Shinto.

Where to start

  1. Open Buddhist Beliefs or Story of Siddhartha to get the big picture.
  2. Move on to Buddhism- Eightfold Path to see how the path is split into right view, right speech, right effort and more.
  3. Read the notes titled Buddhism, which open with a quote from Siddhartha Gotama about the mind shaping our lives.

Keywords and exam practice

The flashcard decks Buddhism Key Words: Insight and Buddhism key words: Living cover terms such as Samsara, Karma, the Six Realms of Existence, Tanha and the Deer Park Sermon. Some resources mention GCSE Religious Studies and A-level Religious Studies, and there are notes on 12 mark questions and mock essay questions for writing practice.

Using quizzes and maps together

Read a map first, then try the quiz RELIGIOUS STUDIES- BUDDHISM. It asks about the four noble truths and the twelve links of dependent origination on the wheel of Samsara. Wrong answers show you which map or deck to return to. Then go back to the flashcards for the terms you missed.

Where it sits

This unit belongs to the Other World Faiths strand of Religion and theology. Choose a resource that matches what you are revising, or make your own maps and flashcards as you go.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the mind map Buddhist Beliefs. It sets out the Four Noble Truths in order, from Dukkha to Magga. Once that makes sense, try the Noble Eightfold Path maps, then check your understanding with the quiz RELIGIOUS STUDIES- BUDDHISM.

What do the mind maps cover?

They cover beliefs and practice. You will find the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, Nibbana, the Three Universal Truths, the story of Siddhartha, Zen Buddhism, Dharma, the Bodhisattva Ideal and Avalokiteshvara. There are over 300 maps, so several cover the same topic in different ways.

Are these resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so it can help to compare a couple of versions of a topic. A free account lets you save quiz scores and make your own.

Which levels and exams do they suit?

Most resources are at secondary level, with a smaller share for university students and professional candidates. Some mention GCSE Religious Studies and A-level Religious Studies. Teachers can use the ready-made maps, decks and quizzes as starting points for lessons or revision tasks.

Are there flashcards for key terms?

Yes, there are over 140 flashcard decks. Buddhism Key Words: Insight covers Samsara, Karma and the Six Realms of Existence. Buddhism key words: Living covers the Four Noble Truths and Tanha. Other decks cover Zen Buddhism, rebirth and the 5/10 Precepts.

What if I cannot find what I need?

Try a different format, because a topic may appear as a note, a deck or a map. If nothing fits, you can build your own with a free account. Making a mind map or flashcard set from your class notes is also a good way to revise.
