Overview
 The emphasis in Buddhism is on the teachings of the Buddha(s) and on the awakening
of human potential. “Buddha” is
a descriptive title meaning ‘Awakened One’ or ‘Enlightened
One’ and in its long history Buddhism has used a variety of teachings
to help people ‘wake up’ from restricting delusions.
Our Specialized Studies offering in Buddhism offers an overview of the history of schools
within Buddhism throughout the world and a selection of courses within various
traditions. |
