課程描述（若為實務型課程需含搭配產業界或非營利組織需求之說明）
Course Description

Buddhism as a lived religion does not just exit in texts but is also practiced by people in real life. As such Buddhist discourse changes and adapts to answer issues arise in our time (e.g. climate change, globalization, inter-religious conflict, tourism, etc.). This course is designed to investigate those issues and Buddhist response to them. Students are expected to practice in class discussion. We hope that through this class, students will gain further insight into the pluralist world and diverse Buddhist cultures around the globe.

“Topics in Contemporary Buddhism” will discuss social, cultural and ethical issues in contemporary Buddhism. We aim not only to help students developing academic skills of researching Buddhism but also to widen students’ views on different Buddhist traditions and interplaying elements. There will be controversial issues to discuss such as Buddhism & violence,etc. By so doing, we hope students can gain better understanding of the pluralist world and insight into diverse Buddhist cultures around the globe.
