SUMMARY:History of Mindfulness
DESCRIPTION:Description: This course will explore the historical and theoretical transformation of mindfulness (sati, smṛti) from presentations in the Pāli Canon, Abhidharma, and Mahāyāna traditions (Tibetan and Zen) to modern Buddhist and secular practices and applications. The first three weeks of the course will consider the multiple ways mindfulness functions as a mental factor in classical Buddhist theories of mind, meditation, and the path. Next, we will trace the emergence of the modern mindfulness movement from its roots in colonial and postcolonial Asian Buddhisms to contemporary Buddhist understandings and secular applications in the West. This course should be of interest to any student of Buddhism or mindfulness interested in a deeper understanding of the historical and theoretical roots of mindfulness.\nStructure of the course: Each week students will receive a narrative summary of contemporary scholarship on the topic, recommended readings, and an annotated bibliography for further self-study. Classes will include ample time for discussion. Some weeks may include a supplemental video/audio lecture or additional optional sessions for answering questions. All sessions will be recorded and made available to registered students.\nPreparation: Prior familiarity with mindfulness practice (any variety) is recommended.\nWednesdays, 9am-10:30am Pacific Time on Zoom.*\nMarch 3 – April 7, 2021.\n*If a number of students would like to meet in the evening Pacific Time, it might be possible to arrange a second section. Contact the instructor, Karin Meyers  karinm@mangalamresearch.org ( mailto:karinm@mangalamresearch.org ) with any questions.\nCost: $160.\nScholarships are available for this course. Please write Karin at karinm@mangalamresearch.org ( mailto:karinm@mangalamresearch.org ) to inquire.\n
