DESCRIPTION:A public talk by Numata Visiting Professor Martina Draszczyk.\n
 \nMindfulness: Its Place in Buddhism and in Today’s World.\n\nMindfulness 
 is often referred to as a “direct” path toward freedom from suffering. How
  is it contextualized in the Buddhist tradition? How is it practiced? And 
 why is it that this particular aspect of Buddhism has entered a certain nu
 mber of areas in the non-Buddhist world\, in particular in the fields of h
 ealthcare\, education\, stress management\, and psychological self-care? T
 he lecture will take a look at these different questions.\n	\n	Martina Drasz
 czyk holds a PhD in Buddhist Studies and Tibetology. Her doctoral thesis a
 t the Department for South Asian\, Tibetan and Buddhist Studies of the Uni
 versity of Vienna dealt with the integration of the notion of buddha natur
 e in meditation practice. In her research projects at Vienna University sh
 e focused on Tibetan Madhyamaka\, Mahāmudrā\, and buddha nature theories m
 ainly in the context of the Kagyu tradition and published two monographs (
 together with David Higgins). At present\, her main field of research is m
 indfulness with a particular focus on Indo-Tibetan Buddhism. \n\nTalk will
  be held in the Senior Common Room in Birks Building. \n
