2022-10-30T22:01:02-06:00

This open discussion session focuses on themes and issues related to editing translations of liturgies for use in practical environments and will be as interactive as possible. Some of the questions discussed included: how do we develop appropriately sensitive language meant for recitation, to invoke the power of Buddhist practice? What is different when editing texts for practitioners? How shall we handle multilingual editions? What kinds of supplementary materials are needed? What kinds of musical genres can be implemented in liturgies and rituals?
