Through lectures, readings, videos, workshops and field trips we will investigate the study of mind that has developed within the Buddhist tradition. In doing so, we will take special care to avoid the common pitfall of most Western interpretations of Buddhism - the attempt to fit Buddhist ideas and practices into unexamined Western assumptions and traditional intellectual categories. All students will attend class June 22 - July 22. Students enrolling for 12 credits will also participate in a four-day retreat July 24-27 that will focus on meditation and other forms of Buddhist practice as pathways toward mental and spiritual well-being. No previous knowledge of Buddhism or psychotherapy is required.
