CAS Event: Visiting Buddhist Master to speak on Tibetan texts
We are pleased to announce the following event:
"Ecumenism in Tibet: Public Panel with Ringu Tulku"
Thursday, April 18 at 7:00 p.m.
British Studies Room, 5th Floor of Norlin Library, CU-Boulder campus
In nineteenth-century in Tibet, a circle of Buddhist luminaries compiled eclectic collections of texts from a wide range of traditions in order to preserve their distinctive lineages. These collections have been crucial to preserving Tibet's unique tantric heritage in the diaspora. What was the approach to ecumenism among these luminaries? How has this approach shaped Tibetan Buddhism as it has grown and taken root beyond the Tibetan plateau? A panel of scholars who are visiting CU Boulder for a conference titled, "Translating Buddhist Luminaries: A Conference on Ecumenism and Tibetan Translation" will address these questions. Our keynote speaker for the panel and conference is Ringu Tulku, an expert in ecumenism in nineteenth-century Tibet and the author of The Ri-me Philosophy of Jamgon Kongtrul the Great.
