SUMMARY:Inaugural Public Lecture Donald Lopez
DESCRIPTION:In the year 721\, a young Buddhist monk named Hyecho set out fr
 om the kingdom of Silla\, on the Korean peninsula\, on what would become o
 ne of the most extraordinary journeys in the history of Buddhism. Sailing 
 first to China\, Hyecho continued to what is today Vietnam\, Indonesia\, M
 yanmar\, India\, Pakistan\, Afghanistan\, and Iran\, before taking the Sil
 k Road back to China\, where he would end his days on the sacred mountain 
 of Wutaishan. This lecture will describe what Hyecho encountered in his tr
 avels and how his journey might provide new ways to understand the Buddhis
 t tradition.\n\n\n\n\nDonald S. Lopez Jr. is the Arthur E. Link Distinguis

 al Idol: An Anthology of Early European Portrayals of the Buddha\, and Dis
