1 Readings in Buddhist Texts: The Lotus Sutra AEAS/AREL 450 University at Albany, SUNY: Spring 2018 Time: MW 2:45PM-4:05PM Place: SS 255 Office Hours: 12:30-1:30, MW Professor: Aaron Proffitt COURSE DESCRIPTION It could be argued that no other single text has had as much impact upon the intellectual, artistic, political, and religious dimensions of East Asian culture than the Lotus Sutra. In this course we will read this important Buddhist text and survey recent scholarship on its impact and interpretation. From the growth and development of the Mahayana tradition in India, to the establishment of the Tiantai tradition in China, from the dominant role of the Tendai tradition in premodern Japan, to the emergence of Zen, Pure Land, and Nichiren Schools in the 13 th century, from the aristocratic courts of China, Korea, and Japan, to mountain based religious centers across East Asia, the academic study of the Lotus Sutra provides a fascinating window across premodern and contemporary East Asian Buddhist culture. All readings are in English. There are no prerequisites, but consultation with the instructor is advised. All are welcome. 1

Faculty members must specify in their syllabi information about academic integrity, and may refer students to this policy for more information. Nonetheless, student claims of ignorance, unintentional error, or personal or academic pressures cannot be excuses for violation of academic integrity. Students are responsible for familiarizing themselves with the standards and behaving accordingly, and UAlbany faculty are responsible for teaching, modeling and upholding them. Anything less undermines the worth and value of our intellectual work, and the reputation and credibility of the University at Albany degree.
