Looking forward to sharing my research! I also plan to discuss some of the training I received at Maitripa College and UCSB and how it has shaped my trajectory as a scholar.

It also makes me wonder about the editors. One would hope sloppy low quality work wouldn’t regularly make it past desk review. If the same journal/editors are behind many of these, that’s cause for concern.

Surata’s Questions / 84000 Reading Room Surata’s Questions follows Surata, a seemingly poor vagabond endowed with a wealth of ethical virtue. The juxtaposition of Surata’s poverty with the abundance of his moral merits forms a central theme...

Looking forward to this, not least because I translated this Sūtra for the 84000: Translating the Words of the Buddha project alongside Jed Forman and Baatra Erdene Ochir!

One of the best parts about academic events in Vienna so far is that a wine reception has invariably followed the talk, including real wine glasses! Too many memories of plastic or paper cups in North America, or shuffling off after events into the night with zero victuals…

I was wondering how you have so many followers. And now, I know.
