RST 323 - Buddhist Meditation Traditions

Description
Mindfulness and meditation have become ubiquitous in North America – in therapists’ offices, schools, corporations, and even the military. Many who practice meditation have no idea they are doing something rooted in centuries-old Buddhist traditions. This course surveys a variety of Asian Buddhist meditative practices, examines their transformations in North America, and investigates the ways they have been adapted to the modern world, the uses to which they have been put, and the controversies they have engendered.
