Who is the Buddha? CPD event for school teachers: Cambridge

Who is the Buddha and what is a buddha? How many buddhas are there? How does someone become a buddha? Can a woman be a buddha? How is the Buddha different to other beings who have achieved nirvana? What is the difference between a buddha and a bodhisattva? Is the Buddha of our time (and place) special in any way?

Join scholars Dr Chris Jones (University of Cambridge) and Dr Naomi Appleton (University of Edinburgh) for an informative and entertaining tour through these questions, and gain access to some new resources for teaching Buddhism in your own classroom. The event is free to attend and is suitable for new and experienced teachers of Buddhism alike, though those new to Buddhism may wish to first watch some of our webinars: bit.ly/WhoistheBuddha

A detailed programme will be emailed to registered attendees in advance of the event. Food and drink will be provided for all attendees, and a limited number of travel bursaries are available; register by 13th Janaury if you wish to request financial support. Registration closes 20th January.

Please note, this event is for UK-based school teachers (and those training to be such) only.

If you live closer to Edinburgh you may wish to attend our event there instead, on 25th February 2023: https://WhoIsTheBuddhaEdinburgh.eventbrite.co.uk
