The Goodman Lectures 29: Study and Translation as Buddhist Practice

Описание: By Dr. Catherine Dalton of 84000 and Rangjung Yeshe Institute
October 5, 2024

In contemporary academia, the study of Buddhism and the translation of Buddhist texts are often treated as disciplines separate from the practice of Buddhism as a path to awakening. In this talk, Catherine will explore how integrating the study of Buddhism and the translation of its texts with committed experiential training can lead to a more effective and fulfilling approach to both learning and translation. She will discuss how, by following her teachers’ guidance and drawing inspiration from both ancient and modern scholars and translators, she has personally benefited from approaching the study and translation of the Buddhist teachings as an integral part of her own Buddhist practice.

Khyentse Foundation Goodman Lectures | A series of online lectures by leading Buddhist studies scholars.

The Goodman Lectures are organized in honor of long-time Khyentse Foundation friend and advisor Professor Steven D. Goodman (1945–2020), whose enduring vision to make academic talks available to people beyond the classroom inspired KF and our friends in academia to share their knowledge and insight with a more general audience.

The views expressed in the Goodman Lectures are those of the speakers, and do not necessarily reflect the views of Khyentse Foundation.
