“Buddhism in Canada” Conference: General Registration Open

“The Buddhist concept of dependent origination teaches that things have no reified essence. Even Buddhism itself arises through causes and conditions. Buddhism has grown dramatically in Canada, especially during the last forty years, but we need to understand better the global causes and the local conditions behind this change in the religious landscape of Canada.”

General Registration is now open for the “Buddhism in Canada: Global Causes, Local Conditions“ conference, to be held at UBC campus October 15th to 17th, 2010. There are two ways to register: (1) to attend the keynote addresses only, and (2) to attend both conference panels and keynote addresses.

The Buddhism and Contemporary Society Program, sponsored by The Tung Lin Kok Yuen Canada Foundation, is a joint initiative of the Department of Asian Studies and the Institute of Asian Research. This conference has also received support from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), and the Numata Foundation.
