05.09 - Siddhartha Kick Off

We started today's class with a recap of our discussion of Buddhism in relation to Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and Taoism. Key slides from this presentation are included below. If you would like a refresher on this lecture from Mr. Collins check in after school. This information is to help provide context for the cultural and religious background of Hesse's Siddhartha.
