Translator of Tibetan Buddhist Texts. Adam S. Pearcey is the founder-director of Lotsāwa House, a virtual library of translations from Tibetan. His publications include (as co-translator) Mind in Comfort and Ease by His Holiness the Dalai Lama (Wisdom Publications, 2007); Ga Rabjampa’s To Dispel the Misery of the World (Wisdom Publications, 2012), which he translated at the suggestion of the late Khenchen Appey Rinpoche; and Beyond the Ordinary Mind: Dzogchen Advice from Rimé Masters (Snow Lion, 2018). A complete list of the many translations he has published online can be found here. Adam first encountered Tibetan Buddhism in 1994 when he taught English at two monasteries near Darjeeling in India. He went on to study at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London; the Rangjung Yeshe Institute in Kathmandu, where he also taught Tibetan and served as an interpreter; the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives in Dharamsala; Oxford University, where he earned a Master’s degree in Oriental Studies; and again at SOAS, where he completed his PhD with a thesis entitled A Greater Perfection? Scholasticism, Comparativism and Issues of Sectarian Identity in Early 20th Century Writings on rDzogs-chen.

The Digital Dictionaries of South Asia Project is a collaborative effort to widen access to South Asian Language Dictionaries. Established dictionaries for each of the twenty-six modern literary languages of South Asia will be mounted on the web for free and open access.

Online version of R.L. Turner's 'A comparative and etymological dictionary of the Nepali language: With indexes of all words quoted from other Indo-Aryan languages' from the Digital Dictionaries of South Asia.

Although called a 'vocabulary,' this might qualify as a small dictionary since there are more than 20,000 entries. For comparison, the Zhang Yisun (et al.) dictionary has about 30,000, but a numeric comparison would not be a fair one, since what you have before you is not strictly speaking a dictionary as it does not attempt full coverage, sometimes ignoring the better known words with well-known meanings... and includes compound words and an occasional phrase, even. It does contain materials that would be useful in making a future dictionary, this being the main reason for making it available in its current sorry state. I started it in April 1987, and will continue for as long as I can. This is meant to be a word-index (or what I would like to call a trouble-shooting word list) more than a dictionary. What this means is that technical, idiosyncratic, and obsolete usages and meanings are given priority over more common ones readily found in the available dictionaries. Even when it doesn't have definitions to offer, it tries to accumulate materials, and especially instances of usage, that may lead to eventual understanding. To some degree, the content reflects my own research focus on 11th- and especially 12th-century texts. There is a certain emphasis on medicine and materia medica, and on things, material objects, substances, mineralogy, zoology, botany, architecture and cultural institutions. At the same time there are a fair number of specialized meditation terms, Bon vocabulary, Buddhalogical concepts, foreign loanwords, etc. There is some but not much coverage of philosophical terms (i.e., technical jargon used in siddhānta and logical works: grub-mtha', tshad-ma etc.). There should be no proper names (even if there are a few in fact, mainly single-syllable clan names that can be a source of confusion) or book titles, but there are many official titles, with a few names & epithets of deities, etc. There are some strange etymologies proposed herein, which I hope will be thought stimulating even when given without much conviction or not entirely convincing. This work supplements, and does not have any idea of standing in place of, the existing dictionaries. This is an important point that I cannot emphasize enough. One of the main motives of making this vocabulary list was to better understand 12th-century Tibetan works (which means that a special effort was made to locate and record terms of obscure or unknown meaning; many of these are quoted in their original context, at times without suggesting any definition at all). Meanwhile, a very valuable dictionary of unusual words (based on a considerable range of previous glossaries, but not dictionaries) has been published: Btsan-lha Ngag-dbang-tshul-khrims, Brda-dkrol Gser-gyi Me-long, Mi-rigs Dpe-skrun-khang, 1997 (herein abbreviated as Btsan-lha). The main-entry content of Btsan-lha has been completely entered here, although the complete contents of the entries have not been (in effect, this work includes a word-index to Btsan-lha's main entries). It will be necessary to have the Btsan-lha as well as all the standard dictionaries (Yisun and Das in particular) in order to make full use of the lexicon in front of you.

Tibet birds. Pictures and Information on birds, birdwatching and travel in Tibet. One aim of this page is to be a tool for Tibetans to learn about their birds and their names. Only once you can name a creature one can get interested and can develop a sense to esteem and protect it. As for the Tibetan bird names ...this is a research project going on. There is no book or dictionary where one can just look up the Tibetan bird names. For some birds there may be no names, for some there may be different names in different areas and dialects. To gather and compile Tibetan bird names is another purpose of this page. For us westerners I want to introduce the birds of Tibet with pictures and short descriptions. I planned to do this in a blog style ... but Chinese internet surveillance is not fond of blogging - and since I live in China I had to find another method. I will insert here photographs of birds from Lhasa and Central Tibet in irregular intervals. The aim is to show the wonderful diversity of birds in Tibet and which birds can be seen at what times of the year. I also want to help the interested birder and birdwatcher with information how to get into Tibet for birding/ birdwatching and where to go for birdwatching. Also I would be interested in exchange of information about Tibetan birds. One remark ... I am not professional, neither a professional birdwatcher, nor a professional photographer or a professional web designer ... I am just an enthusiast! My camera equipment is limited, most pictures are done with a Nikon D5000 and a Nikkor 70-200 mm zoom lens. Christmas 2011 I got a Sigma 200-500 mm zoom lens. Sure I often see birds and don't carry a camera, or pictures got too bad to post here etc. Please forgive. For identification I use "A Field Guide to the Birds of China", John MacKinnon & Karen Phillips, Oxford University Press 2006.

The Vietnamese Intellectual Networks Database provides detailed data regarding key Vietnamese intellectuals, their geographic movement, and their intellectual networks. Based on primary and secondary sources, the database seeks to highlight the historical nuances of each trip by charting modes of transit, activities in situ, and engagements between intellectuals. In this way, this database thus would form a nucleus for ongoing spatial research into Vietnamese intellectual networks. The project begins by aggregating data on Phan Bội Châu’s (1867-1940) movements and will explore adding other prominent scholars and activists such as Phan Chu Trinh (1872-1926), Lương Văn Can (1854-1927), Ngô Đức Kế (1878-1929) and Huỳnh Thúc Kháng (1876-1947). This data could then be cross-referenced and plotted against any number of different spatial metrics, statistical data, or known transportation and communication networks. This data will also be used to produce rich network and geographic visualizations and will contribute new perspectives to Vietnamese history and East Asian regional history. | Berkeley

The objective of the Digital Wayang Encyclopedia is to offer consistent information about the main wayang kulit characters and plots. Javanese wayang kulit (leather puppets) is one of the most important and oldest performance traditions in Southeast Asia. But the languages and conventions constitute an impediment to those not familiar with the tradition. The Digital Wayang Encyclopedia (as sister project of the Contemporary Wayang Archive) aims to be used by scholars, students, artists and wayang enthusiasts interested in Javanese wayang kulit (an Indonesian-language version is being planned). Our goal is to aid in a variety of research and creative projects, ranging from ethnographic to computational analysis. The information in the entries is hyperlinked and easily searchable. It is also encoded in machine-readable formats that can be used for data-driven quantitative analyses. Our main goal is not comprehensiveness but consistency and below we explain how we standardize the data in the entries, and the rationale for this.

For this study, we were interested in seeing whether biomechanics could be used to investigate a question relevant to Javanse dance scholarship. We wanted to avoid a simplistic cross-cultural comparison or merely looking at practical questions such as injury preventing or teaching enhancement. Although we believe both possibilities to hold promise, we were here primarily interested in whether we could use the biomechanical toolkit to address questions relevant to dance scholars. The question we settled on is related to stylization and typology. We were interested in identifying the biomechanical markers of different character types for male dancers (refined, vigorous, vigorous-refined, simian, birdlike, and de- mon) in the dramatic Sendratari form of Yogyakarta. The reasons for focusing in this question require some discussion of Javanese dance theory and practice. Typology, or the classification of dances along several types is a key feature for the practice and appreciation of Javanese dance. Typology is central to the discursive sphere on dance, as well as to the appreciation and pedagogy of dance. Several researchers indicate that typology is also a key component of the Javanese worldview, aesthetic principles and general philosophy, and dance is just a reflection of this. In dance, there are regional types, dance types and character types. A recording of standing motion for each character type can be found in the left side panel, as well as some comparative features that enable users to explore similiarities and differences among these character types.

Full length videos of new adaptations of Javanese wayang kulit (wayang kontemporer), with subtitles and notes.

The concept of garbo is widely acknowledged as a combination of song and dance in worship of the Goddess during Navratri in Gujarat (Shukla-Bhatt 3). However, due to contemporisation of the art form, the significance of garbo as an image is usually missed out on. The image traditionally consists of a “perforated globular clay pot with a wide round mouth”, in which women light lamps that are meant to be kept alight for the span of nine nights (Shukla-Bhatt 4).

NGO Khoj Project is our tiny little effort to democratise data, which primarily happens to be basic information regarding Civil Society pan India. By this, we not only hope to widen the base of numerous NGOs, NPOs and other charitable organisations doing some fabulous work but also help those interested meet their 'ideal' organisation or agency, based on their locational preference and area of interest. While some agencies have attempted to offer networking solutions, these solutions often come with a price and a bias. Amidst this very spurt in voluntary sector jobs and the sheer lack of information thereto, this project aims to take some cognizable steps in the field of networking, collecting, curating and distributing data in an unbiased and democratic fashion.

India is a nation with a rich botanical heritage, and always has been. The importance of the bounty that we possessed may not have been recognized until a few centuries ago. The remembrance of our elaborate colonial past is alive in the spirit of the nation. And at some point in history, these two identities converged- contributing an ocean of botanical discoveries and breakthroughs by the Portuguese, Dutch and the British. We bring to you these surveys, arranged chronologically – All aligned in a timeline! We have curated 97 British, 8 Dutch and 3 Portuguese surveys, spanning across the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries.

Welcome to the 1975 Indian emergency website. A place where you can find everything about the emergency period, like letters, caricatures, articles , books as well as video and audio interviews!

We are those six students (we know there are only five photos, we promise there are six of us!) and this is our little space on the Internet dedicated to curating Indian children’s literature. We’ve lived and breathed children’s literature for the past two months; all of this enthusiasm has been exhibited on this blog. Whether it’s a database of close to a thousand children’s books from India (yes, really), articles discussing trends in Indian children’s literature or academic papers questioning the discipline itself, we have something for everyone! We do hope that this site will be helpful to anyone and everyone interested in children’s literature in India, thank you so much for stopping by!
