SUMMARY:Buddhist Perspectives on Nature – in person
DESCRIPTION:This course introduces a variety of Buddhist perspectives on the natural world, drawing on philosophical presentations in classical Buddhist texts as well as modern ecological interpretations, and historical and ethnographic studies of Buddhist cultures. Throughout the course we will explore how these perspectives relate to core Buddhist doctrines as well as how they challenge common modern assumptions and categories (such as “man” vs. “nature”), and present alternative ways of relating to the more than human world in this moment of climate and ecological crisis.\nStructure of course: Each week students will receive a narrative overview of the topic as well as recommended readings. Some weeks may include additional video/audio lecture content. As meetings will be primarily devoted to discussion, students are strongly encouraged to review class materials ahead of the class meeting.\nPrerequisites: Students new to Buddhism or the academic study of Buddhism are encouraged to study Rupert Gethin’s Foundations of Buddhism prior to the start of the course.)\nThis version of the course will be in-person. We will meet in different locations outdoors in Berkeley (with masks and physical distancing). Class will begin with a short nature connecting meditation.\nTuesdays, 5-6:30 PM\nJune 15-22; July 6-27\n
