In this writing intensive course, students explore the growth of Buddhism in the United States through immigrant communities and converts. Participants study ritual, art and other facets of Buddhist cultures, exploring patterns of retention and adaptation of the tradition in the United States. Participants will also have the opportunity to meet Buddhist teachers and monks both in field settings and in the class. As part of the course students will be required to participate in a day long session of meditation training at a Zen Buddhist monastery on a Saturday early in the semester.
