This class is based around the concept that the level of understanding
of the course is based upon ones own interest. As far as the course materials are concerned, this class is based on deep,
in depth conversation, so do not take this class thinking it will be an easy 'A'. You will expected to be versed enough to
maintain in depth discussions on Zen Buddhism and the Beat Movement.
The
RECOMMENDED text include: Jack Kerouac's Dharma Bums, Gary Snyder's The Gary Snyder Reader, and Richard Hughes Seager's Buddhism
In America. It is also encouraged for members of the class to search out other sources of information, for all you know it
could be next semester's recommended reading...
