LAS 199 - Mindful Crossroads to Compassion and Awareness

3 hours
Buddhist monk and social activist Thich Nhat Hanh teaches that there is nothing we experience that can’t be approached with mindfulness and compassion. Our seminar will focus on understanding Hanh’s identification of Christianity with Buddhism to better understand how we experience ourselves in the world. Through literature and film, we will focus on the discovery and the formation of personal identity by asking, What are the key influences on a person’s development?How does the “self” interact with a community? How can mindfulness lead to a better understanding of who we are as individuals?
