Buddhist Thought and Culture in India and Tibet

• Buddhist Thought
• Tibet
• Madhyamaka
• Theory of Time
• Tsong kha pa

I carry out research on Indian and Tibetan Buddhist thought, with a particular focus on elucidating Je Tsong kha pa’s Madhyamaka and bodhisattva beliefs and Buddha-kaaya doctrine. My interests also extend to Tibetan classics and poetics. I aim to ascertain from multiple angles the transmission of Buddhist culture from India to Tibet.
