SASIAN C215 Readings in Indian Buddhist Texts 2-4 Units Fall 2017

SASIAN C215 Readings in Indian Buddhist Texts 2 - 4 Units

Description

This seminar is dedicated to reading Vinaya materials in the Sanskrit original. It also serves to introduce to the study of the Vinaya more broadly, and will include the reading of pertinent secondary literature. Our principal source will be the Vinayavastu of the Mūlasarvāstivādins, and in particular the Adhikaraṇavastu, which deals with procedural and legal matters. Time permitting, we may also turn to the śīla chapter of the Bodhisattvabhūmi and read matching passages treating the bodhisattva precepts, including their legal implications.
