1 Mahāyāna Buddhism Fall 2007 Religious Studies 305 Professor Todd T. Lewis Religious Studies Department, Smith 425 Office Hours: Tu/Thurs 11-12:15 and by appointment Course Description: An advanced course examining prominent movements within the modern "Northern School" of Buddhism, with particular attention to early Indic, east Asian, and later Tibetan and Nepalese traditions. Topics include the cosmic Buddha and Bodhisattva doctrines; the Madhyamaka, Cittamātra, and Hua-yen philosophies; the populist Pure Land lineages; and the early esoteric tradition in theory and practice. The course will focus upon influential texts (Prajñāpāramitā Sūtras, Lotus Sūtra, Vimālakirtinirdesa Sūtra) and draw upon new translations from recent scholarship. Course Design: This course is designed to be rigorous yet exploratory, conducted in a manner integrating lecture segments with regular discussions in seminar style. The course assignments are designed to provide maximum freedom for each individual to pursue topics of greatest interest. All students are expected to participate actively in the coursework, ask questions, help develop the class' clarity, and make use of office hours. Class topics will supplement the required readings, not replace them. Reading assignments should be completed before the designated class and analyzed carefully. The Journal and term paper must be handed in on time to receive full credit. The latter should be concise, clear, and carefully edited. Separate guidelines for these will be distributed. Please bring the week's appropriate text(s) and class handouts to class. Grading: 1. Journal (35) 2. Research Paper (25) 3. Oral Final Exam (30) 4. Participation (10) 100 points
