Buddhist Texts and Commentaries in Traditional and Contemporary Contexts
Conference Schedule for the UCBT PERSONNEL
30 May – 04 June 2012

Papers accepted into this panel should be related to the historical and contemporary roles of Buddhist scriptures, commentaries, and treatises, the relationships between these texts, and their respective roles in the formation and interpretation of Buddhist canons. Papers are also invited on the issues involved in making these texts available to contemporary cultures by way of translation, interpretation, and, especially, electronic resources, which reflects the project of the International Association of Buddhist Universities for the Union Catalog of Buddhist Texts that is dedicated to creating an online catalog that links all the major electronic projects devoted to the canons of Buddhism, e.g., Pali, Sanskrit, Chinese, Tibetan, and Mongolian
