授業科目の内容・目的・方法・到達目標
This course is offered as a companion course to Buddhism and Social Change in Contemporary Asia 仏教と現代アジアの社会変化 by the same instructor in the first half of the semester. You do not have to take both courses, but it is recommended to do so for a fuller understanding. This course will look at Buddhism in Japan in a very different way – through the actions of Buddhist priests and followers to confront the real life problems and suffering of people in Japan today. We will look at such issues as:
1) human relationships in terms of: a) dying and grieving, and b) alienation and suicide;
2) economic development in terms of: a) social and economic gaps, aging society, community breakdown and depopulation of the countryside, b) alternatives to globalization and Buddhist economics, and c) alternative energy and the environment;
3) politics in terms of: a) nuclear power and peace, and b) Buddhist complicity with war and work for peace.
The creative solutions some individual Buddhists are developing in response to these problems mark an attempt to revive Japanese Buddhism, which has been primarily associated with funerals and tourism. These efforts are trying to remake the temple as a center of community in an increasingly alienated society.
There will be a variety of teaching methods from homework, readings, group processes, in-class videos, and guest speakers. This course will attempt to be as interactive as possible, so students should be ready to reflect on the issues personally as they experience them as residents of Japan, and to express these reflections not only intellectually but emotionally as well. Field trips will be offered on the key issues above so as to deepen appreciation and understanding. As such, THIS COURSE IS LIMITED TO 35 STUDENTS. PLEASE SEE DETAILS BELOW.
