Palyul-Khyentse Chair established at the International Buddhist College (IBC), Thailand

Khyentse Foundation, with a generous matching fund from Malaysia-based Buddhist foundation Yayasan Pema Norbu Vihara (YPNV) - an official Palyul centre of Malaysia - has established a new chair in Buddhist studies at the International Buddhist College (IBC), Sadao Campus, Thailand. The Palyul-Khyentse Chair in Buddhist Textual Studies will promote the continued study and teaching of Sanskrit Buddhism and its transmission to the Tibetan world.
A non-sectarian Buddhist university, IBC offers classes in all four major Buddhist languages - Sanskrit, Pali, Tibetan, and classical Chinese - and in particular, has now developed a good concentration of Sanskrit studies. Thus, as well as reflecting the historical heritage of the local area, its courses highlight textual and philosophical traditions that are relevant to all living Buddhist lineages. The chair will help implement an expanded curriculum of MA courses, which was developed in consultation with Professor Dorji Wangchuk of the University of Hamburg.
