This article explores Asian traditions of meditation, with particular attention toBuddhism as it was developed in ancient India. It delineates a core curriculum,
initially developed in monastic institutions of higher education, that has been most
fully preserved in Tibet. It then explores how this curriculum might be adapted so that
it can help support a genuinely humanistic education within American higher education. This exploration focuses not only on the inherent values of Buddhist meditation but also on practical strategies that can be used to introduce these values in the
academic curriculum and in the broader campus life.
