1 Buddhist Ethics EMT 2630F Fall 2015 Seminars: Thursday 7:00 to 9:00 PM Office Hours: Wednesday 2:30 to 3:30 PM or by appointment Office: Room m141 at 45 Willcocks Street Instructor: Henry Shiu, Ph.D. Course Description: Buddhism is a response to what is fundamentally an ethical problem the perennial problem of the best kind of life for us to lead. The Buddha was driven to seek the solution to this problem and the associated ethical issues it arises. This course introduces students to explore whether an Asian religion such as Buddhism can shed any light on problems that the West has found difficult and controversial. The course applies Buddhist ethics to a range of issues of contemporary concern, and discusses the Buddhist response to ethical dilemmas confronting our modern societies. It also develops a careful, probing analysis of the nature and practical dynamics of Buddhist ethics in the particularities of different Buddhist traditions. Course Objectives: Since Buddhist ethics is an unfamiliar subject in the West, the course will take on various issues from a Christian perspective first as a point of departure. This allows students to examine the different ethical standards sparked from different religious orientations. Through such discussions, students will develop an in-depth understanding of the Buddhist moral teachings and how many of these ancient, Indian approaches could be modified and remained meaningful in our contemporary society. Methodology: The course is intended as an introduction to the study of Buddhist ethics. It is meant to critically examine the controversial issues of our world today. The class format will take on a variety of styles, including lectures, critical reading of canonical texts, academic works and films, exploring and examining the Buddhist principles in different contexts through class discussion, and the comparative reading of Buddhist ethics against the norm of Christian ethics in the Western world. Each of these methods is meant to stimulate an active learning process in which it is important for the students to engage. Each student brings unique experiences and perspectives to the seminar, and the seminar is intended to serve as a space for collaboration and shared learning.
