Teach about Buddhism with a little help from Edinburgh Buddhist Studies

Here you can find all the resources created for the 2021 series “Introduction to Key Concepts in Buddhism for RMPS Teachers“, run by Dr Naomi Appleton (Edinburgh University) and Dr Christopher V. Jones (Cambridge University) as part of their AHRC-funded project “Comparative Buddhology in Indian Buddhist Literature”.

This was a series of talks addressing each area of the Buddhism section of the National 5/Higher RMPS curriculum. Recordings of the presentations are available via links through to the University of Edinburgh’s Media Hopper platform.
