REQUEST> Buddhism on Death and Dying
by Brad Clough
Dear Colleagues,Recently I was asked to present a series of lectures on death and dying in Buddhism. To prepare for this, I of course want to consult as many relevant primary and secondary sources on this issue as possible. Of course, I do not ask that anyone do my own research for me, but my strong hunch is that several of you already have at hand bibliographies and/or syllabis on this topic. The H-Buddhism editors have advised me that it would be best if you first sent your lists to me offline. Once I have collected all the responses, I will post all my findings in an organized format to the whole list.
Many Thanks to All!

RESOURCE> Paul Griffiths Divinity Controversy
by Charles
DiSimone
Posting on behalf of Jonathan Silk:Dear Colleagues,
The only reason to forward the link below--which may be primarily, or only, interesting to colleagues in the US--is that the scholar involved is Paul Griffiths, whom you may know from an earlier stage of his career when he specialized in Buddhist philosophy, and in fact was one of the very leadingmost figures in its study, before leaving the field entirely in favor of Catholic theology.
I express no opinion about the content of the current controversy, and dare to bring it to your attention only because of the identity of the protagonist. (I should note, however, that this is not an entirely marginal issue; I learnt of it first from the Chronicle of Higher Education, hardly a fringe publication.)
