ES 353 - Buddhism and the Environment

An introduction to the interface between Buddhist philosophy/meditation and the exigencies of contemporary environmental awareness, activism, and personal and societal practice. Students explore Buddhist perspectives on ‘seeing’, the senses, consumption, liberation, equanimity, interdependence, and impermanence, all in the context of the very modern and constantly evolving environmental challenges of our day.
