Academic Scholarship
The samples of prior academic scholarship below are aimed Buddhist Studies scholars, not at religionists in general, nor at a popular audience. The philological sample is only for Sanskritists. The philosophical sample should be accessible to Western philosophers or college students, who have already had at least some introduction to the different Buddhist philosophical schools. Other more generally accessible scholarship are forthcoming and will be posted here in the future.
Philological Scholarship Sample
The Manuscripta Buddhica series editors have not yet completed the laborious proofreading of my roughly 400-page volume (in-press): The Sāratamā by Ratnākaraśānti: Sanskrit and Tibetan Critical edition with Introduction. But for those Sanskritists who might be interested in perusing it, I have temporarily posted below the typo-ridden pdf version of the edition as it was when appended to my DPhil dissertation.
Philosophical Scholarship Sample
The seminal philosophy of one of the greaterst Indian Buddhist scholar Ratnākaraśānti (ca.975-1045) had a major impact on both Indian and Tibetan Buddhism, but his place within intellectual history was subsequently undervalued and his significance misunderstood. This chapter highlights his signature contribution, and will soon be published in the Routledge Handbook of Indian Buddhist Philosophy.
