After everyone had a chance to take this quiz, we reviewed the quiz answers.
Next, we began preparing to read Siddhartha by Hermen Hesse. This is a hero's journey story based around Siddhartha who became known as the Buddha. For some background to this story, we took time today to explore the similarities and differences between Hinduism and Buddhism since the Buddha was a person who came out of a Hindu culture (much like Christianity was founded by a person who came out of a Judaic culture). To explore these differences, everyone read quotes that explore some of the key ideas in each religion which we then discussed (specific directions and copies of quotes are below).
