The aims are: 1) to introduce you to the essential teachings and practices of the Buddhist and Christian traditions; 2) to explore each traditions particular understanding of the relationship between the ultimate and the human. This course is designed to engage the students in exploration of how each tradition develops a response to the human condition. In the process, we will compare texts on Buddhist meditation and Christian contemplation, and modern Buddhist and Christian perspectives on race, gender, ecology, and social justice.
