Theology and Religious Studies Discovery Day 2024 Discovery Day 2023 On 13 June 2023, we were thrilled to welcome schools from across Scotland, both in person and online, to our 2023 Discovery Day – our biggest one so far! Theology and Religious Studies Discovery Day 2023 Who is the Buddha? 2023 On 28th January, Dr Chris Jones (University of Cambridge) and on 25th February, Dr Naomi Appleton (University of Edinburgh), gave two in-person CPD free events for school teachers interested in teaching Buddhism. Travel bursaries and access to some new classroom teaching resources were available. These events, suitable for new and experienced teachers of Buddhism, focused on adressing questions such as: 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?
