Tues Feb 17 6:30PM
Online Talk
Reverend Heng Sure, an experienced translator and Buddhist teacher, will share his reflections on processes of translation.
Every encounter with the Buddha’s teachings is an encounter with translation. On a linguistic level, the Buddha’s teachings were translated from Sanskrit and other Indic languages into Chinese and Tibetan. On a cultural level, Buddhism has adapted to many cultures, including to American and European cultures in recent history. On an existential level, the ineffable experience of awakening has been put into words by the Buddha and other great teachers through the ages.
What does it mean for us as we study the Buddha’s teachings? Do we ever have access to the “real” teachings? And, how can we contribute to the work of bringing the Buddha’s teachings to the West?
