Dharma"

This
event is devoted to exploring the link between Buddhist beliefs and
environmental protection. It will examine the religious principles and
practices that sustain activism in the sphere of ecology and sustainability,
and it will look at single examples and experiences in the field.
The programme includes three
guest speakers, who will present their current research or engagement with
Buddhist environmental ethics, and the screening of the award-winning
documentary feature film Pad
Yatra.
A final
roundtable discussion will provide the opportunity to ask questions to our
guest speakers and delve into the issues raised by the talks and videos.

ANNOUNCEMENT> Syllabi Request for H-Buddhism
by Constance Kassor
Dear Colleagues,Following the model of many other H-Net groups, H-Buddhism is working on developing a syllabus database. If you have taught a course on Buddhist Studies at any level and you would be willing to share a syllabus with us, please send it as an email attachment to constance.e.kassor@lawrence.edu. Along with your syllabus, include the level of the course (e.g., introductory-level undergraduate, graduate seminar, etc.), as well as any keywords that might be relevant (e.g., Tibet, gender, textual studies, etc.)
Please keep in mind that H-Buddhism, like all H-Net Networks, publishes on an open-access model, meaning all of our content is freely available on the web.
