SUMMARY:Lecture: Kanō Kazuo
DESCRIPTION:Hardly any Sanskrit manuscripts of Buddhist scriptures remain i
 n India today\, even though such manuscripts have been discovered in surro
 unding regions. Tibet in particular is one of the richest treasuries of pr
 ecious Sanskrit manuscripts from as early as the 8th century. In order to 
 clarify the history of the reception and transmission of Sanskrit manuscri
 pts in Tibet\, one needed task is to identify previous owners of the manus
 cripts. The manuscripts that were brought by individuals must for the most
  part have originally been part of private collections before being integr
 ated into monastery libraries. The present talk is a case study undertaken
  with this assumption. The issue in question can be cleared up by investig
 ating examples dealing with other Sanskrit manuscript owners\, whose names
  sometimes appear in Tibetan remarks written on Sanskrit manuscripts in No
 rbulingka and the Potala. Furthermore\, in the course of researching these
  manuscripts\, I came across rare examples which vividly show cross-cultur
 al religious activities between Indian and Tibetan Buddhists: Sanskrit man
 uscripts around 11–13th century are normally written on palm leaves or b
 irch bark\, but there are some exceptions\, i.e.\, Sanskrit manuscripts wr
 itten on paper are found from the 13th century Tibet\, which were written 
 in Tibet by Buddhists from India. On the contrary\, there are Tibetan text
 s written on palm leaves\, which were written in India by Tibetan Buddhist
 s. I shall show these particular examples to clarify how Indian and Tibeta
 n Buddhists were active in transmitting Buddhist tradition from both direc
 tions.\n\nKanō Kazuo is an associate professor at Koyasan University.\n\n
 A related reading group of Two Sanskrit Formulas of Buddha-nature — Reco
 nsidering the Background of the Term tathǟgatagarbha will take place at M
 cMaster (University Hall 122) on Friday\, March 3rd from 4-6pm.
