A survey of historical and theological developments, the course takes an “insider” and “outsider” approach to Buddhism. We will examine the story of Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, and his key teachings, then investigate the characteristics of the three main branches of the religion. Students will deal with key primary Buddhist texts and will consider the implications of Buddhist practices, particularly meditation.
