Buddhism, despite being the sixth-largest religion in the UK and widely recognized as one of the six major religions to be taught in schools nationwide, often faces challenges when it comes to being effectively taught by teachers. This book aims to address this issue by delving into the beliefs and practices of Buddhism as a lived religion in the UK. It engages with Buddhist concepts and practices, providing students and teachers with the confidence to address misconceptions and recognize the significance of beliefs in the lives of believers.

The book explores various aspects of Buddhism, including the central beliefs that form the foundation of this religion. It then examines how these beliefs are expressed in worship, daily life, and the ethical principles followed by Buddhists in the modern world. Each chapter includes authentic voices of believers today, offering valuable insights into their experiences and perspectives. The book provides opportunities for readers to consider the concepts presented and explore how they can be respected and taught in the classroom.

This book forms part of the Teaching Religions and Worldviews series, a collection of guides designed to build teachers' confidence and expertise in teaching different religions or worldviews. By exploring the teachings of Buddhism, this book aims to empower educators to create inclusive and respectful learning environments where students can explore and appreciate the diversity of religious beliefs and practices.
