Content Inside: SPIRITUALITY AND EDUCATION EDPL 788M, Summer II, 2001 Instructor: Prof. JING LIN Tuesday, Wednesday, 3:40-7:00 (301) 405-3568 Jinglin@wam.umd.edu Spiritual practice cultivates inner strength, confidence, inspiration, commitment and sense of purpose. We should address spiritual as well as material poverty. Only if the scientific civilization can be integrated with the inner spiritual civilization can mutual harmony and an ideal global society be established in the world. Spirituality may nurture moral, ethical and spiritual transformation, which are the keys unlocking the door to our interconnectedness and interdependence (Chung Ok Lee, 2000, Vision for a New Civilization, Won Buddhism Publishing, p. 167). This course intends for students to explore spirituality from multidimensional angles. The students are to reflect on their own lives as to how they have spiritually carved their life course and given meaning to their experiences. World traditions are to be discussed, which would involve the reading of famous texts in Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Christianity, and so on. Spiritual, meditation practices will be studied to bring oneself to a higher level of concentration, inner peace, and sense of purpose in life. In education, the problems schools are facing today will be critically discussed, and spirituality will be brought into the discussion for possible explanations and solutions. The course will touch on these topics: - Human spirit, soul, intuition, revelations, enlightenment, dreams, human consciousness and subconsciousness.
