Life and death - Unit 1

Part ofReligious Studies

  • Life and death - Unit 1

    • The world

      The Buddha taught followers not to trouble with unanswerable questions, but focus on seeking enlightenment. There is clear guidance in Buddhist teachings about how to deal with environmental issues.

    • Death and the afterlife

      Buddhism teaches that there is a cycle of death and rebirth called samsara. Through karma and eventual enlightenment, Buddhists hope to escape samsara and achieve nirvana, an end to suffering.

    • Non-religious views

      Religion and science ask different kinds of questions about the universe and its origins. Humanists and atheists do not have any religious beliefs, and embrace scientific discoveries instead.
