Description

Panel 2: The Vinaya Outside: Commentaries, Handbooks and Monastic Transmission
What happens if we consider vinaya as a broader genre, including commentaries and handbooks, and the partnership between vinaya precepts and monastic transmission? What are the benefits for vinaya-studies in going beyond the narrow definition of what constitutes vinaya?
Featuring reflections from Prof Ann Heirman (Ghent), Dr Upali Sraman (UoE Divinity), and Dr Abigail MacBain (UoE Asian Studies), with the latter chairing.
