Image The University of Edinburgh’s Asian Religions Network (http://www.asianreligions.hss.ed.ac.uk/) is pleased to announce two new annual public lectures, which will be inaugurated this coming academic year. The 2015 lecture in the series Asian Religions – Boundaries, Connections, Identities will be given by Professor Charles Orzech of Glasgow University on 2nd December 2015 at 5.30pm in the Martin Hall, New College. The lecture is titled ‘Asian Religions and World Religions: Reflections on Taxonomy and the Study of Buddhist Liturgy’ and is free and open to all. Booking is not required. From the spring of 2016 we will also hold an annual Khyentse Lecture in Buddhist Studies, generously sponsored by the Khyentse Foundation (http://khyentsefoundation.org/). Each year a scholar of Buddhism of international reputation will be invited to give this public lecture, making an area of cutting-edge research in the field accessible to a wide audience. More details will follow. Both of these lectures speak to the Network’s aims of bringing people together to create, share and enjoy scholarship on Asian Religions, and to raise the profile of this field of study in Edinburgh and beyond.
