DS is in yr 13 doing RS, studying Buddhism. It's apparently a very complicated topic. His teacher left at half term and will not be replaced they have not covered the whole course and are expected to do "self directed study" they've been given a booklet. My DS is very worried at the best of times now he's really anxious, he's very dyslexic with a very significant processing disorder he needs a B to get into his choice of Uni. Obviously I'm not pleased but that's another story. I've tried unsuccessfully to find revision guides for Buddhism (he reads very well and his comprehension is excellent) does anyone know of one? Secondly I have past papers for DS to work through but someone told me you can self mark it, and download a self marking guide where does he find this?
Any other suggestions will be gratefully received. Thank you.

Listen to talks by Ajahn Brahms, he is an English buddhist monk, he is brilliant at explaining Buddhism, interesting and funny and your son might find it easier to listen to him rather than reading.

Also, Alan Watts is very good, a bit more of a philosopher on the subject, hope this helps.
