    The Buddha means

    • The Enlightened One

    • The Annointed One

    • The Chosen One

    Correct Answer
    A. The Enlightened One
    Explanation
    The term "The Buddha" refers to someone who has achieved enlightenment, which means they have gained deep insight and understanding about the nature of existence and have transcended suffering. Therefore, "The Enlightened One" is an appropriate explanation for the term "The Buddha". "The Annointed One" and "The Chosen One" do not accurately capture the essence of what it means to be a Buddha, as they imply a divine appointment or selection, which is not the case in Buddhism.

    Essays that try to explain the hidden meaning of the Vedas 

    • Dharma

    • Brahman

    • Upanishads

    Correct Answer
    A. Upanishads
    Explanation
    The Upanishads are a collection of ancient texts that form the basis of Hindu philosophy. They are considered to be the culmination of the Vedas and offer profound insights into the nature of reality, the self, and the ultimate truth. Unlike the other texts in the Vedas that focus on rituals and ceremonies, the Upanishads delve into deeper philosophical and spiritual concepts. They explore the hidden meanings and symbolism within the Vedas, providing a deeper understanding of Dharma (moral and ethical principles) and Brahman (the ultimate reality or divine essence). Therefore, the Upanishads are the most appropriate choice for essays that seek to explain the hidden meaning of the Vedas.

    Correct Answer
    A. Kapilavastu
    Explanation
    Kapilavastu is considered an important site of pilgrimage because it is believed to be the birthplace of Buddha. This is significant because Buddha is the central figure in Buddhism and his birthplace holds great religious and historical importance for followers of the faith. Pilgrims visit Kapilavastu to pay homage to Buddha's birthplace and to connect with the origins of their religion.
