RLS 258 Introduction to Buddhist Spirituality


3 credits

This course will explore major historical and contemporary forms of Buddhist spirituality, from the Buddha’s earliest recorded dialogues on meditation theory and practice 2,500 years ago, to the subsequent development of Tibetan and Zen Buddhism in the medieval period.  Students will also learn about recent investigations into the neuroscientific foundations of Buddhist practice, as well as the therapeutic applications of meditation practice to chronic pain and the emotions.  This course is especially designed for students interested in problems and practices of human healing.
