This course is a question-and-answer discussion exploring the historical development of Buddhist schools. Students ask and answer questions like “In what way are things one and what difference does it make?” in order to practice putting Buddhist ideas into words. Rather than focusing on a specific text, it will be an exercise in looking into our own minds.
