PROGRAM> Intensive Summer Program in Classical and Aural Tibetan
by Ryan Damron
Dear List,The Dharmachakra Translation Center is pleased to announce our 5th annual Summer Translation School, held at Rangjung Yeshe Gomde in Northern California from June 15th to August 5th.
Our program offers intensive translator training for intermediate-level students of the Tibetan language. We train students in both textual translation and aural comprehension/oral interpreting in an immersive environment that develops the complete range of skills required for effective translation and facilitates the transition from language student to translator.
Through our affiliation with UC Berkeley’s Center for Buddhist Studies, we offer a Certificate of Completion issued by the Berkeley's Center for Buddhist Studies at the conclusion of the course.
The program has drawn students with backgrounds in the traditional study of Tibetan Buddhism, and has in the past attracted graduate students from Yale University, the University of Chicago, Emory University, and UC Berkeley.
A complete description of the program and application can be found on our website.
Please feel free to share this information with any students or colleagues you feel may be interested in the program.
Best wishes to all,

CFP> Critical Review for Buddhist Studies (CRBS)
by Hyunjung Ryoo
Dear Colleagues,Geumgang Center for Buddhist Studies (GCBS) is calling for papers related to studies covering Indian, Tibetan and East Asian Buddhism, to be included in the publication Critical Review for Buddhist Studies (CRBS).
This publication has been issued on a semi-annual basis since February 2006. 18 volumes have been published to date by GCBS, which is based at Geumgang University in Korea. (All papers can be downloaded free of charge at http://gcbs.ggu.sc.kr/sub04_1. An English webpage is currently under construction.)
GCBS was selected and financed by the National Research Foundation (NRF) in 2007 as a 10 year project, named the Humanities Korea Project. Our agenda being, “Inspection of the Cultural Processes of Formation, Transformation and Reception with regard to the Buddhist Classical Languages and their Texts.”
Since then, we have released a volume titled, “The Foundation for Yoga Practitioners. Buddhist Yogācārabhūmi Treatise and Its adaptation in India, East Asia, and Tibet”, which was co-published by Harvard University in the Harvard Oriental Series Vol. 75.
CRBS consists of articles that were presented at conferences, guest lectures, workshops, and colloquiums. Almost half of the articles in our journal are written in foreign languages, other than Korean, such as English, Japanese and Chinese.
Consequently, our journal (despite its short history of 10 years) was nominated as a candidate for Registered Journals of the Korean Research Foundation in July 2015. Based on this momentum, the editorial board of CRBS is calling for papers that will showcase various researchers’ remarkable academic achievements.
We adopt a thorough blind peer-review system to verify submissions, and each submission is examined via the KCI (Korea Citation Index), which is supported by the NRF. Research articles will be selected for publication, from among all eligible submissions, through an impartial blind peer-review conducted by three specialists in the field.
Authors, of the papers that are selected for publication, will receive a modest remuneration.
- Submission Guideline: Concerning the style of the manuscripts, please adhere to the Chicago Manual of Style (the 15th and 16th edition). For specific exceptions, or to view a detailed guideline for our journal, please download the submission guideline of CRBS(pdf file) at http://gcbs.ggu.ac.kr/sub04_1/articles/view/tableid/sub04_1/id/744#none.
