Buddhism in Central Asia II
The ERC-funded research project BuddhistRoad aims to create a new framework to enable understanding of the complexities in the dynamics of cultural encounter and religious transfer in pre-modern Eastern Central Asia. Buddhism was one major factor in this exchange: for the first time the multi-layered relationships between the trans-regional Buddhist traditions (Chinese, Indian, Tibetan) and those based on local Buddhist cultures (Khotanese, Uyghur, Tangut) will be explored in a systematic way. The second volume Buddhism in Central Asia II—Practice and Rituals, Visual and Materials Transfer based on the mid-project conference held on September 16th–18th, 2019, at CERES, Ruhr-Universität Bochum (Germany) focuses on two of the six thematic topics addressed by the project, namely on "practices and rituals", exploring material culture in religious context such as mandalas and talismans, as well as “visual and material transfer”, including shared iconographies and the spread of ‘Khotanese’ themes.
Michael and Catalina
Once a romanticist, always a romanticist, and Michael Ouellette in his late sixties and now living in Colombia meets a much younger women and tentatively falls in love. He discovers there are other problems besides the age difference to deal with; Americans living in Colombia who resent the relationship for personal reasons, the language difficulties hampering thoughtful communications and a mother who loves her daughter and feels the relationship is wrong. Set in the beautiful city of Medellin, Colombia, Michael finds that cultural differences can be hard to adjust to but can also help when two people, completely different, find strangely enough they have so much in common. Love finds its own way.
