In the past thousands of years, do Chinese students have religion? What makes Chinese religion quite different from that of many other cultures? How did Chinese philosophers connect with religion? Three famous Chinese philosophers, Confucious, Lao-tze, and Huineng, as well as some of their great followers will be introduced. Their contribution to Confucianism, Taoism, and Zen and their influence on the lives and thoughts of historical and contemporary Chinese people will be briefly studied. Lunch is provided.
