BUDDHISM & MEDICINE CONFERENCE CALL SEMINAR
(J
anuary 30, 2010 from 2pm to 6pm)

This webinar is designed to introduce participants to Pierce Salguero’s PhD research in Buddhist medicine. The session will begin with an overview of Buddhist medicine in the earliest Indian tradition, and then proceed to discuss the spread of Buddhist medicine throughout Asia and eventually to the West. The chief focus of the class will be on the medical texts present in the Chinese Tripitaka, which are a treasure trove of medical knowledge preserved from throughout ancient and medieval Asia. Pierce will walk participants through this material, discussing individual texts and their contents. We will discuss:

    the role of Buddhism in crosscultural exchange of medicine
    basic Buddhist medical theories
    the relationship between Buddhist medicine, Ayurveda, and Chinese medicine
    Buddhist medical practices relevant to contemporary practitioners

Participants will receive call-in information for participation after registration. A phone line and an internet connection will be required in order to both listen and follow along with multimedia presentations.
