Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

According to the Sigalovada Sutta, what are the 'six directions' that a lay Buddhist should honour?

  1. The six realms of existence in Buddhist cosmology
  2. The six relationships including parents, teachers, spouse, friends, workers, and religious teachers
  3. The six perfections (paramitas) that lead to enlightenment
  4. The six sense bases through which suffering arises
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — The six relationships including parents, teachers, spouse, friends, workers, and religious teachers
Award 1 mark for identifying the six directions as representing six key relationships in lay life. A is incorrect — the six realms refer to rebirth destinations, not social relationships. C is incorrect — the six perfections are part of Mahayana practice, not the Sigalovada Sutta teaching. D is incorrect — the six sense bases relate to the causes of craving, not family duties.

  2. Dana
  3. Bhavana
  4. Karuna
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — Dana
Award 1 mark for identifying dana as the practice of generosity or giving. A is incorrect — sila refers to moral conduct or precepts. C is incorrect — bhavana refers to mental cultivation or meditation. D is incorrect — karuna means compassion, which is a motivation but not the specific practice of giving.
