AAR Presidential Address: The Study of Buddhism and the AAR
WHO would have thought a year before the 2020 annual meeting of the American Academy of Religion (AAR) that the Presidential Address would be delivered via Zoom? Indeed, how many of us even knew what Zoom was back then. Yet, here we are, in a world racked by a pandemic that has taken millions of lives worldwide, over-proportionately from the most vulnerable sectors of society. It would not be right to begin this presidential address without ackno…
Rethinking Buddhist Scholastic Communities Through a Socio-Historical Lens
My early work on scholasticism initially focused on the Tibetan tradition, and later on scholasticism as a comparative category. This scholarship was based almost exclusively on the doctrinal writings of scholastics. While valuable in starting a conversation, in the intervening years I have realized that a more diachronic perspective that emphasizes the social and institutional aspects of scholastic communities is needed. This paper considers thr…

Tibetan Ritual
Ritual is one of the most pervasive religious phenomena in the Tibetan cultural world. Despite its ubiquity and importance to Tibetan cultural life, however, only in recent years has Tibetan ritual been given the attention it deserves. This is the first scholarly collection to focus on this important subject. Unique in its historical, geographical and disciplinary breadth, this book brings together eleven essays by an international cast of schola…

The Limits of History: A Response to Nancy Levene
IT IS, OF COURSE, IMPOSSIBLE to do justice to an essay as rich and provocative as this one in the few lines allotted us. Rather than a direct response, I will take a more asymptotic approach to Professor Levene’s essay. Such a tangential response is, in any case, all that a buddhologist (or at least one the likes of me) is capable of in the face of an essay that weaves together (with a great deal of grace, I might add) modern poetry, gender theor…
Reply to Schweiker
I AM GRATEFUL to Professor Schweiker’s for his careful reading of my essay and for his thought-provoking response. His remarks are lucid and insightful, and they raise some important questions. Because our replies are to be brief, let me launch right in. Schweiker’s main concern is with my method, and specifically, with my use of “macro-abstract conceptual dyads: Self/Other; insider/outsider; identity/difference,” something that he sees as possib…
The Discipline and Its Other: The Dialectic of Alterity in the Study of Religion
The academic study of religion emerges, in part at least, from an encounter with the religious Other. This essay traces out a history of this encounter, a history that is dialectical. In each historic moment, the simple dichotomy that was previously thought to ground a hard and facile distinction between self and other comes to be challenged. But in the wake of such challenges, new categories come to be posited, categories on the basis of which t…

Liberation: An Indo-Tibetan Perspective
Given the wealth and diversity of theological and philosophical opinions in both the Buddhist and Christian traditions, it is incumbent upon those who would engage in to recognize the limitations of any particular dialogical setting by admitting to the fact that it is at most an interchange between individuals with specific doctrinal views. 1 That both traditions are so rich doctrinally implies, of course, a lack of univocality in both traditions…
Response to Terry Muck
5. See my unpublished dissertation, Bhikkhu of the Pali Vinaya Pitaka With an Illustrative Comparison With the Monk of St. Basil's Ascetica (Northwestern University, 1977). 6. The reader is aware, of course, that this opens the much-debated topics of What is religion? and What is the study of religion? The tracks of the one hundred-year-old discussion can be profitably followed in Eric Sharpe's Comparative Religion: A History, 2d ed. (LaSalle, Il…
