Choose one of the primary sources we have read during the course of the semester (The Noble Search, The Vedas, The Upaniṣads, On Raṭṭhapāla, The Shorter Exposition of Action, States of Consciousness, Khaggavisana Sutta, Sangarava Sutta, or The Book of Discipline) and explain its significance for the history of Buddhism. You can explore ideas about doctrine, social issues, practice etc. The main point of this question is to force you to engage a primary source and see you carry out an analysis. Do not just describe what happens in your source. Analyze the content and tells us what we can say about the history of Buddhism from it.
