"spirituality"- a balance of inward and outward awareness that is often associated with eastern religions. But what do these traditions really mean for people who practice them? This course provides an introduction to the major belief systems and practices of eastern and southern Asia: Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, and Shintoism. We will look at the evolution of each of these religions, considering the ways they have inspired individuals and shaped civilizations through cosmology, ritual, literature and art. We will also look at the ways that these traditions influence societies, including our own that are far from the religions¿ places of origin.
