subjects related to Buddhism. With the result the topics of research papers range from literature (Pali, Sanskrit, Prakrit, Chinese, Tibetan etc.) to philosophy; history (art, architecture, archaeology and so on) to culture; conventional Buddhism to modern Buddhism (like Applied or Engaged Buddhism, Environmental awareness, role of woman and youth etc. in making and propagating Buddhism), Buddhist doctrines and their practicality and so on so forth.
I hope the participants will deliberate on various aspects of Buddhism and contribute meaningfully to promote open discussions on new scholarly findings in the field of Buddhist Studies.
