COMMENTS:
RELIGION is a LISTSERV list for the scholarly discussion of religions.
It is sponsored by the Harvard Center for the Study of World Religions.
Unlike lists with similar names, RELIGION does not deal with matters of
personal faith or theology. Rather, it's aim is to encourage discussion
of the historical and comparative study and teaching of religions.
Relevant approaches include history, sociology, psychology, philosophy,
literary criticism, and anthropology. Relevant issues include
methodology in the study and teaching of religions; comparative themes
such as myth, ritual, mysticism, community, and inter-religious contact;
and issues specific to particular traditions. Some of the materials
available from the listserv:
Carpenter, David. Syllabus from the seminar, Buddhism. (1991). Available
from RELIGION listserv as BUDDHSM2 SYLLABUS.
Dalton, James S. Syllabus from the seminar, Religious Tradition: A Study
of Buddhism. (1991). Available from RELIGION listserv BUDDHISM SYLLABUS.
Hori, G. Victor Sogen. Syllabus to the seminar, Zen Buddhism. (1992).

According to the compilers the database should deal "with the Hindu
tantra, Indian Buddhist tantra, the Bauls, any siddhas, Tibetan
Buddhism, Sahajiya, golden pill Taoism, Chen-yen, Shingon, and Taimitsu
Buddhism. We only leave Mongolian Buddhism, Bengali Sufism, and Tangut
Manicheaism off the initial list becasue we are too ignorant to make a
judgement as to the fit and/or bare existence of same. Possibly we
should consider serious work on Western alchemy as well."
