Check for Understanding/Kahoot!

Context: Tibetan Buddhism
  • What do we already know about Tibetan Buddhism?
  • Buddhism arrived in Tibet fairly late (between the seventh and ninth centuries) from central China, Nepal, and India. Fits within Mahāyāna tradition.
  • Tibetan Buddhism has been more highly influential than the small population atop the Tibetan plateau would suggest: popular among the Mongol Khans, the Qing emperors, and has a global following today.
  • More than just a religion: also a storehouse of knowledge related to everything from ethics to epistemology to law to medicine. 
  • The Dalai Lama is believed to be reincarnated over time; leader of the preeminent Geluk sect, and has traditionally played a key political role as well.

Discussion:
  • What are the main concerns of the author?
  • How might we draw a connection between yesterday’s reading and today’s? (Find the passage in the text!)
  • Do you find his analogy compelling? What might Confucius think?
