A Kammavācā Manuscript from Myanmar - Hidden Stories Conversations

Trent Walker (Stanford University, Ho Center for Buddhist Studies) and Luther Obrock (University of Toronto) explore a Burmese Kammavācā manuscript from the Hidden Stories exhibition in the collection of the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto. The Kammavācā is a highly ornamental book, used in the Buddhist ordination ceremony for new monks entering the monastery within the Theravada tradition in Myanmar. The exhibition Hidden Stories: Books Along the Silk Roads, held at the Aga Khan Museum, Toronto, explores the books, scrolls, manuscript paintings, and textiles that shaped — not just documented — life along one of history’s most important trade networks and beyond. The exhibition (October 2021 - February 2022) was co-curated by Filiz Çakır Phillip (Aga Khan Museum) and Suzanne Conklin Akbari (Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton) and developed in collaboration with the Book and the Silk Roads Project at the University of Toronto.
