Our Chair of Centre says
The Centre of Buddhist Studies’ key mission is to be a catalyst for learning, research and outreach on Buddhism in Asian societies and globally, past and present. The CBS brings together academics and students from SOAS, as well as from other academic institutions and the public at large, through lectures and workshops of international calibre. This not only brings energy and new ideas, it also enables new audiences to appreciate and understand some of the cutting-edge research currently carried out on Buddhism.
