Introduction to Buddhism

Alverno College, 3400 S 43rd St, Milwaukee, WI | Get Directions »
$112.00

6 Tuesdays, November 13 – December 18

Buddhism is a major spiritual force in the world today. From its roots in Asia twenty-five centuries ago, Buddhism has become one of the fastest growing religions in Europe and North America. Its compelling insights into human existence offer an ancient yet very relevant alternative to the materialism of the modern age. In this course we will investigate the origins and historical development of Buddhism as well as its current trends. We will explore Buddhism’s central, unifying principles as well as its diverse forms, from the esoteric rituals of Tantric Buddhism to the minimalist refinement of Zen. Finally, we will delve into Buddhism’s most important sacred writings, as well as the sacred art inspired by the Buddha and his teachings.

Instructor: Michael Mullooly, MA
