Jñānaśrīmitra on Yogic Perception

Monday June 3, 2024 - Sunday June 9, 2024

This 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).
