Jñānaśrīmitra on Yogic Perception
Jackman Humanities Building, Room 401 170 St. George St., Toronto, Ontario, CanadaThis workshop will focus on a single Sanskrit text: Yoginirṇayaprakaraṇa (“A Monograph on the Investigation of Yogins”) by the 10th-century Buddhist philosopher, Jñānaśrīmitra. For Buddhist philosophers, the insight that paves the way for liberation is an experience that presents things as they truly are: as suffering, as impermanent, and so on. Participants will include Bhikṣu Hejung (Joongang Sangha University), Jed Forman (Simpson College), Elisa Freschi (Toronto), Lawrence McCrea (Cornell), Parimal Patil (Harvard), and Davey Tomlinson (Villanova).
