Post ReplyThis is simply a word of thanks to Guttorm Norberg Gundersen (and anyone else who may be assisting) for compiling the list of Online Buddhist Studies Events. This is an invaluable service to the field. I have learned about many events I otherwise would not have become aware of, and even the events in which I am not specifically interested provide a fascinating snapshot of things going on in the field. Thank you!
Sincerely,
John Newman
