  2. New Questions and Ideas

  3. THE STORY OF BUDDHA The Buddha taught that life is full of suffering and unhappiness. He also taught people to kind, and to respect the lives of others including animals. The Buddha taught in language of the ordinary people Prakrit so that every could understand his message.

  4. UPANISHADS Upanishad literally means approaching and sitting near and the text contain conversation between teachers and students. Most Upanishadic thinkers were Brahmans and Rajas . Many of the ideas of Upanishads were later developed by Sankaracharya.

  5. JAINISM The most famous thinkers of the Jains, Vardhamana Mahavira, also spread his message around this time, 2500 years ago. He was a kshatriya prince of the Lichchhavis.

  6. JAINISM Followers of Mahavira, who were known as Jaina's, had to lead very simple lives, begging for food. They had to be absolutely honest, and were especially asked not to steal. Also, they had to observe celibacy. And men had to give up everything, including their clothes.

  7. JAINISM Jainism was supported mainly by traders. Farmers, who had to kill insects to protect their crops, found it more difficult to follow the rules. Over hundreds of years, Jainism spread to different parts of north India, and to Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.

  8. THE SANGHA Both the Mahavira and the Buddha felt that only those who left their homes could gain true knowledge. They arranged for them to stay together in the sangha, an association of those who left their homes.

  9. THE SANGHA Men and women who joined the sangha led simple lives. They meditated for most of the time, and went to cities and villages to beg for food during fixed hours. That is why they were known as bhikkhus and bhikkhunis

  10. MONASTERIES The only time they stayed in one place was during the rainy season, when it was very difficult to travel. Their supporters built temporary shelters for them in gardens, or they lived in natural caves in hilly areas. As time went on, supporters themselves, felt the need for more permanent shelters and so monasteries were built. These were known as viharas

  11. MONASTERIES Viharas were made of wood, and then of brick. Some were even in caves that were dug out in hills, especially in western India.
