PHI 390AS - Introduction to Buddhism and Buddhist Meditation

Institution:

Antioch University-Los Angeles

Subject:

Description:

Buddhism is becoming of more and more interest in the Western world since its introduction in the early part of the 20th century. As it becomes more popular, however, it seems that misconceptions about what it is and what Buddhist meditation practice entails are also entering the public's understanding of it. This experiential one-day course presents the basic principles and practice of Buddhist meditation and its relevance to daily life. This workshop will provide an introductory-level foundation of Buddhist history, practice, and theory. The major focus of the class will be on the direct encounter and reflective analysis of experience of individuals' meditations. No grade equivalents allowed. HUMANITIES DOMAIN
