1:30 pm / Dr. Weijen Teng
Buddhist scripture is the core of Buddhism, the primary source of the Buddha Dharma. Today, Buddhists learn Buddhism from canons of different Buddhist traditions in different languages. This talk will familiarize the audience with the historical development of the extant Buddhist canons and the languages they used and compare their structures and contents in brief.
