[Buddha-l] FW: H-ASIA: CFP Buddhism in East Asia Intl. Conf., Delhi, Feb. 2010

[JKirkpatrick]

 This conference notice boggles the mind. The program themes
refer to a gigantic body of history, humanities and philological
studies over at least 2 centuries---must be getting bored around
the old department to come up with this idea. Nothing said in the
"themes" listed about what challenges they had in mind.
