My three questions when starting my assigned reading on Buddhism were:
Q. How is the new Dalai Lama chosen?
A. The new Dalai Lama is chosen based initially on looks. If a young boy looks like the Dalai Lama, they will then present items that belonged to the previous Dalai Lama and if the boy chooses the right ones, then Buddhists believe that this means he is the Dalai Lama reincarnated and he becomes the Dalai Lama again.
Q. What kind of "scripture" do Buddhists believe in?
Buddhists believe in a sacred text called the Tipitaka which they follow as teachings.
Q. What do Buddhists believe when it comes to life after death?
After death, Buddhists believe that you are reincarnated and eventually after having lived a virtuous life, you will reach Nirvana.
I found the answers to all three of these when I was helping my group write our presentation on the religion of Buddhism.
