Keynote Speech with Tsering Shakya: Tibetan Buddhism & Political Power in the Courts of Asia

This international conference will examine Tibetan Buddhism’s dynamic political role in history as a major catalyst in moving the religion beyond Tibet’s borders to its Tangut, Mongol, Chinese, and Manchu neighbors. This conference will bring together scholars from multiple disciplines, featuring Tsering Shakya (University of British Columbia) as the keynote speaker, and with panels on Political Legitimacy and the Birth/Spread of Empires; Militant Lamas and Magical Warfare; and Systems of Power and Control of Knowledge. The conference is held in conjunction with the exhibition Faith and Empire: Art and Politics in Tibetan Buddhism, on view February 1 through July 15, 2019. We will kick off the conference with a reception and tour of the exhibition on Friday, April 5. Presented with Columbia University. #rubinmuseum #ourpower
