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

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 Naomi Appleton (University of Edinburgh) and Dr Chris Jones (University of Cambridge) 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 10th February if you wish to request financial support. Registration closes 17th February.

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

If you live closer to Cambridge you may prefer to attend our event there instead, on 28th January 2023: https://WhoIsTheBuddhaCambridge.eventbrite.co.uk
