Assignment:
Choose one of the following schools of Buddhism:
• Theravada Buddhism
• Mahayana Buddhism
• Vajrayana Buddhism
• Zen Buddhism--as a special school of Mahayana Buddhism
Write a 800- to 1,000-word paper that addresses the following:
• Summarize the history of Buddhism and the life of Buddha.
• Explain the basic teachings and moral aspects of Buddhism.
• Explain what makes the school of Buddhism you selected unique.
Use your own words. If you use a source, it must be in quotes and be listed in the bibliography. Quotes should be less than 20% of the word count. Use quotes to bolster what you have learned when researching the paper. I know that your sources likely know their stuff; but I am grading you and want to make sure you know it as well.
Format citations and references consistent with course-level APA guidelines.
