The Religions of East Asia (RELI 132) C, RG

![]() |

East Asia has produced a rich array of cultures, and in the 21st century it has become an important region economically and politically. In this course we explore and experience East Asian religions as they exist in the diverse culture of Honolulu, Hawai'i. We examine the question of what "religion" is, and how it applies to East Asia. We study the cosmological and philisophical roots of Asian philosophical and folk traditions, as well as of Mahayana Buddhism. In Honolulu, we will visit museums and various religious sites to learn firsthand about the contemporary practices of these traditions.

Global and intercultural education is one of the primary focal points of the academic program at Pacific Lutheran University.
Committed to educate for a just, healthy, sustainable, and peaceful world, PLU weaves global education through almost every aspect of a student's study. World events shape our lives, and PLU's curriculum reflects that reality. As a result, students will graduate well prepared for graduate study or a career with a global focus.
PLU's partnership with Earth Deeds allows us to go further in these commitments and enable students to measure and acknowledge the unavoidable carbon footprints from their study away experience and help support a meaningful sustainability project.
