For Class #8, 10/20/08.

1. Roster, calendar, other issues.

2. Movie projects and reports.

• Please make sure that you have sent me your written report.
• Present individual reports; discussion.
• Summary points.

3. As time permits: India and Buddhism presentation.

• http://docs.google.com/Presentation?id=df8n9qbt_88cq4fg89r

4. Discussion of readings due: Fisher 4 and Novak 2 (Buddhism).

5. For next week: Chinese history--read Mason, 5 through 9.

• Reflection: Based on what you have read, why do you think Buddhism "exports" better than Hinduism? In other words, Buddhism is more like the Western religions in the way it seems to make converts in non-Indian cultures. Why do you think this is the case?
