Religions of India Religion 3330 Prof. Daniel Bass Fall 2006 Second Essay Assignment This five-page essay will describe your visit to a South Asian religious institution in South Florida. You should attend religious services of a religious tradition to which you do not belong. A list of possible sites is below. Be sure to contact the institution first (by e-mail, phone or via the web) to verify its location and worship schedule, since some of these listings may be out of date. You should also inquire if special dress is required, and if you can meet and talk to this contact person. If you find a problem with any of this listings, please let the professor know, so that he can change this list for future class. If you want to write about a site not listed, you must clear it with the professor beforehand. You should attend religious services at the site, either daily, weekly, monthly or annual ceremonies. Be sure to discuss the type of ceremonies that you witness in your essay. If possible, you should talk to participants, including officials and audience, and gather any literature that they may have about the site and their tradition. If you want to take pictures, to aid in your memory for writing this essay, be sure to ask permission first. You do not need to include pictures in your essay, but if you do, they should be in addition to your five page text. You should introduce yourself as a student at FIU, and hopefully people will be welcoming. In your essay, you should describe the site, the people present, and the various rituals and religious actions that you witnessed. In doing so, you should compare them to class materials. How are they similar to and different from the religious beliefs and practices we have discussed in class? Additionally, how has the religion adapted to America? Remember, these are not South Asian religious sites you are visiting, but South Asian American ones. In your essay, you should address the composition of the audience at the site. Why is this site in South Florida? Who is it serving? You should describe the art, symbols, images, religious objects, dress, and language that are distinctive of the religion. Be sure to provide citations from class readings in your essay. In constructing your essay do not just give an anecdotal account of your experiences. You should present the relevant parts of your site visit into a cohesive argument about the religious site and the religious tradition, with 1 sufficient analysis of your experiences. In your conclusion, you may also discuss what was surprising, unexpected, moving, strange or attractive about your experience, though you should be as objective as possible in the bulk of the essay. On a separate title page (that does not count towards your five page essay), you must list: your name name of the site visited religion of the site (including branch or sect if applicable) address and contact information (phone, email) for the site date and time of your visit names of any staff or officials at the site with whom you communicated This essay should be typed, double-spaced, stapled, in a standard 12-point font (Times or Times New Roman), with standard margins (maximum 1.25 inches), and with proper citations, such as parenthetical notations, i.e. (Embree 1988: 5) (for more information on citations see http://www.wisc.edu/writing/Handbook/DocMLA.html). Although I will not be grading specifically for grammar, poor grammar will get in the way of your argument and possibly lower your grade. No outside reading, besides class assignments, is necessary for this essay. You should revise your essays before turning them in. I will not allow you to do so afterwards. Plagiarism and academic dishonesty will not be tolerated (For advice on avoiding plagiarism, see http://library.fiu.edu/Services/Plagiarism.aspx). This essay will count towards 20% of your final grade. The essay is due at the beginning of class on Wednesday December 6. No late papers will be accepted. 2 SOUTH ASIAN RELIGIOUS SITES IN SOUTH FLORIDA Miami Beach Sangha 3078 Alton Road Miami Beach, FL 33140 305-532-7784 [email protected] http://www.miamibeachsangha.org/ BUDDHIST MIAMI-DADE Wat Buddharangsi Temple (Thai Theravda) 15200 S.W., 240th Street Homestead, FL 305-245-2702 http://www.watmiami.iirt.net/ Zabsang Institute (Tibetan Karma Kagyu) 3570 Main Highway Coconut Grove, FL 33133 305-567-0165 [email protected] http://www.zabsang.org/ Amida Temple (Pure Land) 12815 S.W. 119 Terrace Miami, Florida 33186 305-385-2866 International Dharma Center 1530 South Greenway Drive Coral Gables, Florida 33114-1728 305-267-8000 Miami Diamond Way Buddhist Center 205 NE 86th Street Miami Beach, FL 3318 Phone: 305-756-6921 [email protected] Website: www.diamondway.org/miami/ Avalokitesvara Buddhist Study Center 7550 S.W. 82nd Court Miami, Florida 33143 305-271-6361 Zen Meditation Center of South Florida 3001 S.W. 3rd Ave Miami, FL 33129 [email protected] (305) 285-2000 (Day) (305) 532-8126 (Evenings) International Zen Institute of Florida 3860 Crawford Avenue Miami, Florida 33133 305-448-8969 [email protected] Kagyu Tashi Cho Dzong 3010 De Soto Blvd. Coral Gables, FL Phone: 305-663-2832 Website: www.kagyu-sfla.org/index2.htm Zab Sang (Tantricyana) Buddhist Meditation Center (Tibetan Kamakagyu) 7215 SW 72 Street South Miami, Florida 33143 (786) 268-1548 Community for Enlightened Living (First American Order of Mahayana Buddhadharma) 16245 SW 304 St Homestead, FL 33033 Phone: 305-242-0877 Gyalton Karying Dubde Ling Dharma Center (Tibetan) 810 NE 80th Street Miami, Florida 33138 305-757-9110 & 305-582-0368 [email protected] 3 Zenlife Center 1605 N. 16th Court Hollywood, Florida 33020 (954) 920-3691 http://www.zenlifecenter.com/ Chua Phuoc Hue (Vietnamese Pure Land) 2600 SW 64th Ave. Miami, FL 33155 Phone: 305-662-8052 Miami Zen Center 2219 SW 59th Ave. Miami, FL 33155 Phone: 305-266-0830 Tubten Kunga Center for Wisdom Culture 201 SE 15th Terrace, Suite 211 Deerfield Beach, Florida 33441 954-421-6224 [email protected] http://www.tubtenkunga.org/home/ Zen Meditation Practice Group 7550 S.W. 82nd Court Miami, FL 33143 Ft.
