Unit 12

In this unit candidates will be expected to know and understand the proper terms for aspects of Buddhism which form part of the subject content. They will be also be expected to understand the significance of these aspects for Buddhism and how Buddhist teachings and principles may be applied to faith and lifestyles in the modern world. Candidates will be expected to be aware of the common ground that all Buddhists share, and, where appropriate, diversity of views and practices among Buddhists.

 

The divisions of the subject content are not rigid and questions may be set that span two or more of them. The sequence in which the material is set out is not intended to indicate either the order in which it should be studied or its relative importance. Stimulus questions may be set using texts which the candidates will not be expected to have studied.
