For this discussion board post, write about the way you understood Buddhism before you took this course, and in particular, the last two weeks readings. What were your perceptions of Buddhism? Did anything covered in the last two weeks challenge your understanding of Buddhism? Did it reinforce your understanding of Buddhism? Do you see Buddhism the same or different? The goal of this post is to challenge you to reflect on the way the material you are learning interacts, changes, reinforces, or both, your perceptions of particular religious traditions. There is no right or wrong answer. However the answers you give will indicate varying levels of reflection and engagement. Your grade will be determined by how well you demonstrate that reflection and engagement.
