REL 319-26 ONLINE Buddhism, Science, and Mindfulness(Summer 2025, Dhondup T. Rekjong)This course explores the intersection of Buddhism, science, and mindfulness, aiming to deepen and enrich students' understanding of secular Buddhism in the contemporary world. It moves beyond traditional Buddhist teachings to offer undergraduates a unique opportunity to challenge common perceptions of Buddhism, often viewed solely as a religion. Throughout the course, we will examine the historical interactions between Buddhism, science, and mindfulness, engage with recent debates through dialogues, discussions, and workshops, and consider their un/certain future. By doing so, we will gain insights into cutting-edge scientific developments while rethinking the relevance and role of Buddhism within a broader secular context.
