Buddhism
For this assignment students are free to choose a topic of his/her
interest in Buddhism. Topics should be based on some current issue in or
practice of Buddhism (e.g. Designing Zen Gardens, The Tea Ceremony,
Koans in Rinzai Zen, Chanting in Pure Land Buddhism, Perspectives on
Death in Bushido, etc.), if possible, but students can choose to do more
historical events (e.g. Successive Reincarnations of Dalai Lama, King
Ashoka's Vision of Buddhism, The Beginnings and Development of Stûpa
Worship, Non-dualism in Nâgârjunas Philosophy, etc.; note: email me for
consultation, but only after youve done some brainstorming and
research beforehand. Topics are limitless but be sure to narrow your
topic as much as possible. For the research part, you must include at
least THREE solid, reliable, and academic sources (websites of good
repute; e.g. .edu; avoid .com and .org, which are private organizations;
note: if citing a website, be sure to cite properly using MLA or APA
style. Keep in mind that papers should have a catchy title, good intro
with adequate background information, focused thesis, good supporting
points with evidence from research, and thoughtful conclusion. Be sure
to avoid doing a kind of encyclopedia-like entry, but provide creative
insights, yet demonstrating your clear understanding of Buddhist
principles. Paper should be 4 full pages in length; ~1000 words,
excluding quotes.
Also, DO NOT write in the first/second person (i.e., avoid using I, you, or we). Papers should demonstrate your critical thinking skills.
