Friends! Hope to see you on the 13th of August at the International Association of Buddhist Studies conference in Leipzig, where I’ll present on how I confirmed that the Consecration Scripture was indeed edited by a single person or team. I promise that during my talk I will use the phrase “vibes-based argument” at least twice! https://conference.uni-leipzig.de/iabs2025/academic-program/

Looking forward to indulging in this winter break diversion: Ireland and Kronic’s _Cute Accelerationism_.

Attention religion scholars at #sblaar24 if you want good fish tacos, get out of downtown, hop on a bus or taxi to Barrio Logan, and have a leisurely lunch at Fish Guts. The Baja (pictured) is delicious, the swordfish was even better. Bonus if you have time: walk around the block to Provecho! Coffee for a delicious cold brew in a nice artists/gallery space.

Flying to London today. Next week I’ll be giving a lecture and workshop at the Buddhist Forum at #SOAS. See the attached flyers for registration info. Hope to see some of you there or in virtual attendance!
