SUMMARY:Sanskrit for Dharma Students
DESCRIPTION:Sanskrit for Dharma Students, Level 1. This course is designed to support deeper engagement with the Buddha Dharma. Over twelve weeks, students will gain a foundation in Sanskrit grammar and begin reading simple Buddhist texts. It differs from most university level courses in that it emphasizes gradual assimilation of grammar through recitation, draws vocabulary and grammatical examples from Buddhist literature (most introductory courses draw on Hindu epic literature), and provides an introduction to Sanskrit grammatical concepts (essential for deeper study of Buddhist texts and commentaries).\nLevel 2 of the course (offered Spring 2022) will enable students to practice their reading and further ingrain grammatical structures.\nStructure of the course: Class sessions will be devoted to the introduction of new grammatical structures, review of homework, and group recitation. Weekly homework will consist of recitation (about 30 minutes per day) and short written assignments (about two hours per week). Audio and video recordings will support home recitation.\nMondays & Thursdays, 9-10:30am Pacific Time on Zoom.\nSeptember 6-December 9, 2021 (no class week of October 11 or November 22)\nClass limit: 16 students.\nRegistration Deadline: Sunday, August 22\nWho is this class for?: This class is designed for motivated Dharma students. It will be slightly slower paced than a university level Sanskrit class, however, doing home recitations and written assignments, in addition to attending live class sessions, will be essential to students’ success.\nCourse materials developed by Mattia Salvini, International Buddhist College,\nhttp://ibc.ac.th/en/Mattia-Salvini ( http://ibc.ac.th/en/Mattia-Salvini )\nCost: $1,800.

She has taught primarily in academic contexts at several colleges and universities in the US, as well as at Kathmandu University and Rangjung Yeshe Institute’s Centre for Buddhist Studies in Nepal, where she was Director of the Master’s Program in Buddhist Studies and taught Intensive Summer Sanskrit.\nAny questions about the courses should be directed to Karin Meyers (karinm@mangalamresearch.org ( mailto:karinm@mangalamresearch.org )).\n
