Discussion on Buddhism and Arts

Abstract

When the idea for this journal became clear, our excitement throughout the Buddhist university culture was elevated. This is a topic that many people wanted and often communicated to me, for a conference or journal topic. Certainly, we want to see the reaction from the wider scholarly Buddhist community of authors, pertaining to any interest in the various arts. We can confirm that there is interest in Buddhist-related arts, even though the submissions for this particular volume didn’t reach the caliber or thematic expectations we were hoping for, we do think it opens a wide door for an
academic-conversation. We are inspiring the academic converstation.
