The Group in Buddhist Studies is comprised primarily of faculty from the Departments of East Asian Languages & Cultures and South & Southeast Asian Studies. The group offers an interdisciplinary program of study. The program allows undergraduate students to complete a minor in Buddhist Studies. Students seeking a major with content related to Buddhism should check out the majors in either South & Southeast Asian Studies or East Asian Religion, Thought & Culture.
Please see the minor tab for details about requirements and declaration.
Students with a strong interest in an area of study outside their major often decide to complete a minor program. These programs have set requirements.
General Guidelines
All minors must be declared before the first day of classes in your Expected Graduation Term (EGT), and for summer graduates, minors must be declared before the first day of Summer Session A.
All upper-division courses must be taken for a letter grade.
A minimum of four upper-division courses must be completed at UC Berkeley to fulfill the minor requirements.
To fulfill the minor requirements, upper-division courses must have a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 2.0.
Courses that fulfill the minor requirements may be applied toward the Seven-Course Breadth requirement for Letters & Science students.
No more than one upper division course may be used to simultaneously fulfill requirements for a student's major and minor programs.
All minor requirements must be completed before the last day of finals during the semester the student plans to graduate. If students cannot finish all courses required for the minor by then, they should see a College of Letters & Science adviser.
All minor requirements must be completed within the unit ceiling. (Please see the College Requirements tab for further information regarding the unit ceiling.)
All students must complete two courses in a relevant Asian language. Available options include Sanskrit, Chinese (Mandarin or Classical), Tibetan, Mongolian, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Khmer, and Burmese.
Proficient students may take upper-division courses in the same language or start a new language at the lower-division level. It is important to note that courses fulfilling the language requirement do not count towards the upper-division course requirement.
Students with transfer credits in a related language may also meet this prerequisite, subject to approval from the undergraduate advisor.
Requirements
The minor in Buddhist Studies requires five upper-division courses. Notably, Buddhist Studies C50 may substitute for one of these five courses. Students must take three courses within the Department of Buddhist Studies. Additionally, two electives must be chosen from relevant courses offered by the Departments of Buddhist Studies, East Asian Languages & Cultures, South & Southeast Asian Studies, or History of Art.

This course is an advanced introduction to the major teachings of Indian Buddhism and their philosophical elaborations. We will cover the core tenets attributed to the Buddha, and the later doctrinal and scholastic developments that turned Buddhism into one of the principal philosophical traditions of India. For this we will read select primary sources—in principle, extracts of the scriptures and later treatises—and academic articles and book chapters. Rather than offering a broad introductory survey of Buddhist traditions across space and time, this class is geared towards students who are already familiar with the basics of Buddhism and want to deepen their understanding of the principal teachings of Buddhism originating in India.

While maintaining a historical thread throughout, this course will examine in detail some of the tradition’s many facets, including Mongolian-Buddhist politics, the politics of incarnation, the establishment of monasteries, economics, work in the sciences, astral science and medicine, ritual practice, literature, sculpture and painting, music and dance, and more.

This course studies the purview of astral science under Buddhist dominion. Here it is at once promoted for promulgating Buddhist world order and repudiated for begetting the suffering-inducing physical universe, a warped vessel of ceaselessly turning stars that the Buddhist dharma must transcend. The course begins with the part astral science plays in genesis, the creation of Buddhist world order. It then covers the science’s central aspects, celestial systems, spatial orientation, time reckoning, the making of a calendar, and publication of an almanac. Thereafter, it treats the science’s outgrowth into interrelated forms of Buddhist propaganda manifest as divination, magic, medicine, ritual, scripture, and iconography.

This is an introduction to Buddhist philosophy, extending from its origins (as preserved in the early sūtra literature), down through its evolution into multiple competing philosophical traditions (Abhidharma, Madhyamaka, Yogācāra, Pramāṇavāda, and so on). We will explore Buddhist approaches to issues in epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of mind, language, and ethics. One theme running through the course will be radical skepticism; we will explore how Buddhist philosophers questioned not only the existence of an enduring or essential self but also the existence of an external (mind-independent) world, and how their analyses impacted their understandings of meaning in language, their accounts of the nature and function of consciousness.
