This course is designed to introduce students to the history, teachings, and practice of Zen Buddhism in China (Chan), Japan (Zen), Korea (Sôn), and the United States. We discuss how Zen's conception of its history is related to its identity as a special tradition within Mahayana Buddhism, as well as its basic teachings on the primacy of enlightenment, the role of practice, the nature of the mind, and the limitations of language. We also look at Zen Buddhism and its relation to the arts, including poetry and painting, especially in East Asia. Finally, we briefly explore the response of Zen teachers and practitioners to questions of war, bioethics, the environment and other contemporary issues. Prerequisite: Re St 203 or Re St 311.

What exactly is Hinduism? Many have remarked on the overwhelming variety of Hindu traditions: the plethora of gods, the richness and range of mythological traditions, the great variety of festivals. In this course, we examine the diversity of Hindu traditions from a number of perspectives. We reflect on what this diversity means-How can we define Hinduism? Who is a Hindu? What have people understood Hinduism to be? We familiarize ourselves with key concepts, ceremonies, and narratives (from the Vedas to the Ramayana, from sacrifice to marriage) through the eyes of men and women, upper- and lower-castes, on the Indian subcontinent and around the world. We also learn how issues of social and gender equality have been debated in the language of Hindu traditions, thereby building a foundation for understanding the gender struggles, class conflict, and sectarian strife in modern India.

The purpose of this course is to survey some of the main currents in Korean religion through the study of selected religious traditions that have flourished among the Korean people on the Korean peninsula anciently and in contemporary times. These religions include Shamanism, Confucianism, Christianity, and indigenous new religions. We approach these religions by focusing on the people-shamans, sages, and saints-who exemplify these traditions, as well as the search for personal welfare and prosperity that form continuities despite the differences in doctrines, beliefs, and practices.
