LS 654 - Spiritual Classics from the East

(3.00 cr.)

What is the meaning of human existence? Is there a guiding spirit and purpose within the universe? If so, how can we discover it and live in harmony with it? How can we escape the stresses and suffering which infect our daily lives? Timeless answers to these questions are offered up by two of the great classics of world spirituality: the Indian Bhagavad Gita, and the Chinese Tao te Ching. Each work combines a mystical sensibility with down-to-earth practical advice for daily living. The expressive richness of each work has resonated across diverse cultures for over two thousand years. These books are placed in dialogue with each other, with Western thought and religion, and with students' own personal journeys.
