Help us celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Buddhism, Psychology and Mental Health (BPMH) Program in 2026!
You are invited to a lecture by Dr. Pierce Salguero (Abington College, Penn State University) on Buddhist medicine.
The Buddhist traditions have long approached illness as a central form of human suffering, developing philosophical and practical responses to health and healing over millennia. In this talk, Dr. Pierce Salguero introduces the rich and diverse tradition of “Buddhist medicine,” exploring how Buddhist ideas and practices have been used across cultures to promote health while discussing how studying Buddhist medicine challenges common assumptions about religion and medicine and possibilities for future research. Please register in advance.
You are also invited to register for the second lecture in the anniversary series by Dr. Mark Miller, “What is Contemplative Science?” on Wednesday, March 18.
Organized by Frances Garrett, co-sponsored by HCBS, the BPMH program and the DSR.
