WORLD RELIGIONS LECTURE SERIES

Religions are not objects of curiosity to be perused like artifacts in a museum. Rather, they are lived experiences that provide profound meaning for those within them. Our religious traditions have endured for so many years because they have deeply touched so many lives. Our study together is ultimately about these people — roughly two thirds of the world population whose lives are inextricably tied to their religious traditions and history. Not just the facts of religions, this lecture series is to appreciate the internal logic behind their world views and engage some of the common myths and misconceptions for each religion.

HINDUISM NCR 9643

Hinduism, with its many-armed deities and colorful worship services, has the oldest roots of all of the major religions. For centuries, it has drawn westerners toward the "mysterious and mystical orient." Yet, despite its allure, it is also probably the most misunderstood of all the major religions. Is it really so polytheistic? What is the ultimate wisdom of the East? How does it relate to yoga? This course will explore the roots and meaning of Hinduism, which has become by some accounts the fastest growing religion in America.

BUDDHISM NCR 9643

The life of Gautama Siddhartha, known as the Buddha in the West, has inspired people for over two millennia. However, he did not reveal a new god or new spiritual worlds but rather a new way to see ourselves and the world around us. His message has been woven through nearly all the cultures of Asia and shifted as it traveled, but it also has relevance to our lives now in America. This course looks at the foundational teachings of Buddhism within their historical context in order to bring alive its message for today.

CHINESE RELIGIONS NCR 9643

Before the west had its Plato and Aristotle, the Chinese were contemplating the wisdom of Confucius, Lao Tzu and the Buddha. Their teachings percolated into every part of Chinese culture and sustained its development well into the 20th century. The genius of Chinese religions has been their ability to stand in productive tension with one another, forging a religious world view that is both unified and diverse. This course examines the Chinese world view and ponders its future in the rapidly-developing China of today.


WINE

WINES OF THE WORLD NCR 9661

This course covers blind tasting, wine tasting from all the major wine regions around the world, and food pairing recommendations.

Wines are selected to showcase classic descriptors of the varietals and regions. Major laws and regulations are also covered.
