"Visionary Reflections of Text, History, and Philosophy" brought together a group of international scholars to explore the various ways one specific text—the Saddharmasmṛtyupasthāna—has been read, received, and might be interpreted across cultures in a variety of textual, philosophical and performative modes. The event involved a one-day symposium with presentations on the state of the manuscript and the text's historical reception, and a two-day Sanskrit reading workshop for students and researchers with a focus on the section of the text devoted to the "Sudharma Assembly." The workshop was supported by the generosity of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.
