Course Description

Summary

In this class we will investigate the basic tenets of Buddhism and the practice of meditation. The class will focus on discussions of the reading and writing materials as well as in-class meditation experience. The goal of this course is to deepen our collective understanding of the intimate connection and complementarity of Buddhist ideas and meditation. The class discussions will encourage both skepticism and open mindedness as we dive deeply into the vast ocean of Buddha鈥檚 way. Course activities will include reading Buddhist texts and writing essays that reflect and expand our collective understanding.  There is no prerequisite for this class besides curiosity and a desire to understand what it is all about.
