Naropa University

So two blogs ago I researched Matthew Fox and how he created and ran Naropa's Master Degree Program.

Now I'd like to delve a little more into Naropa University itself! Naropa University was inspired by Nalanda University in India that was established in 4 C.E. and it explored Buddhist philosophy and meditation. Now, Naropa University strives to "achieve wisdom and a deep understanding of the world" and they know that simply acquiring knowledge isn't enough. This search for a greater understanding is what Naropa bases most of their educational curriculum off of and they welcome all kinds of people; from the musician, writer, environmentalist, and poet to the activist, peacemaker, and bookworm. Along with a vigorous academic curriculum, Naropa also addresses "the body, the heart, and the totality of one's consciousness" and teachers aim to give each person a transformative experience. Now, I know this seems like a stretch from "Christian Traditions," but it seems Naropa also deals with the spiritual side of our world.

And here's the link to their website!
