broad-based survey of the history of Buddhism in India and Tibet.&nbsp;The course may begin by discussing the historical and cultural context out of which Buddhism emerged, namely the Vedic period and Vedic traditions that preceded classical Hindu traditions in India.&nbsp;From here we will discuss the brahmana (ascetic) movement, the life of the historical Buddha, and the formulation of the early sangha.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After discussing Buddhism during the lifetime of the Buddha, we will cover the early history of Buddhism including the early Buddhist councils, the creation of the Buddhist canon,&nbsp;and the formulation of early Buddhist schools.&nbsp;We will then cover the beginnings of the Mahayana, the early Mahayana philosophers and the intellectual history of Mahayana Buddhism in India.&nbsp;In addition to reading histories of Buddhism, we will also read and discuss scholarly articles about the proper methods for approaching and understanding this history.<\/p>\n<p>We will then turn our attention to the transmission of Buddhism from India to Tibet.&nbsp;We will discuss the key figures in both the early and later disseminations of Buddhism to Tibet and the key events&nbsp;which helped shape the forms Tibetan Buddhism takes today.&nbsp;This portion of the course will be divided into two sections: the early transmission and the later transmission.&nbsp;Each of the four major Tibetan Buddhist schools as well as the indigenous Bon tradition, their histories, key figures,&nbsp;texts and lineages will be discussed.<\/p>\n<p>Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of Buddhist beginnings in India, its history and development in the land of its origin, and the manner in which the tradition was transmitted to Tibet.&nbsp;In addition, students will gain a detailed understanding of the religious and intellectual history of Buddhism in Tibet,&nbsp;including the key figures, lineages, texts, and practices which make the schools of Buddhism in Tibet unique.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-2 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth
