My T'oung pao paper on the pre-history of the notion of One Mind 一心 in the Awakening of Faith 大乘起信論 is out. brill.com/view/journals/…
Made a brief trip to Kyrgyzstan to attend a friend’s wedding.
At Qixia si 棲霞寺 in Nanjing paying respect to Sanlun masters.
Co-organized a 3-day workshop on TACL and n-gram analysis methodology in Buddhist studies with the Korean Association of Buddhist Studies. It was a success with a turnout of 50 participants.
Got my copy today!
My paper, "The Mundanities of the Bodhisattva Path: The 'Bodhisattva Prātimokṣa' and the Bodhisattva Ideal on the Ground in the Middle Period Mahāyāna" has been published in Professor Paul Harrison's Festschrift.
Coming soon: For those of you, like me, who struggle with the structure of Tibetan sentences at times, we will provide a "translate and explain this for me" feature on dharmamitra soon! This should be especially fun for people who are in the process of learning the language.
Our panel on Buddhist networks in East Asia was accepted for the upcoming AAS conference in Columbus OH! I am going to present my proposed periodization of the "era of isolation" in fourth-century China and the period's historical significance.
One of the slides I am using for tomorrows talk. A graph representing how many fascicles of Buddist texts were translated in each decade from the 1st to the 5th century according to the Chu sanzang ji ji 出三藏記集.
Taking a short break from the interminable writing schedule. Still trying to get the hang of the magic broomstick 🧹
My upcoming IABS presentation on the negative catuṣkoṭi in the MMK. A revised version of a paper I wrote while working with Siderits. It uses predicate logic to show that what earlier scholars like Westerhoff mistakenly thought were contradictions are not contradictions at all.
Revising another comparative philosophy paper. In this one, I show that many reductio arguments of the MMK have the following structure. Let us assume P is true. Then, P&(QV-Q). Then, (P&Q)V(P&-Q). However, it can be shown that -(P&Q) and that -(P&-Q). Therefore, P is wrong.
I submitted the paper on the solution I discovered to an issue that had puzzled me for nearly two decades, after presenting it at the 印仏学会 early this month. Looking forward to the peer review results.
Since undergrad years, I've been puzzled by the way 周顒 named the contemporary three theories about the two truths: 不空假名 空假名 假名空 The first two are supposed to represent wrong views and the third the correct Madhyamaka view that supersedes the first two.
15x400m in 83s with 200m jogging rest in 83s. What I hope was the last interval training session on a really hot evening (above 30 degrees) this year. Coaching students running and training with them twice a week have become an essential part of my life here.
