We encounter Buddhas and Hindu gods at the hardware store, yoga and Ayurveda as healing methods, or the Holi festival as a colorful party event. Behind these are Eastern religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism, which have a different view of God and the world compared to Western religions. The eternal cycle of life and its order, as well as the search for liberation from the material world, are essential elements of these religions. The volume "Eastern Religions" offers a thematic introduction along with a variety of worksheets and ideas that enable an open and diverse teaching approach to the religions of Asia. It clarifies what temples look like, which festivals are celebrated, how gods or Buddha are believed to influence the world according to these religions, and what an ideal life should look like. Other topics include sacred texts.
