> especially in the interdisciplinary program in Global Asia Studies, and on
> the other campuses including, for example, in the Centre for Religious
> Studies and the Asian Institute on the St George campus, and in the
> Department of Historical Studies on the Mississauga campus. Given the long
> history of Buddhist Studies at the University of Toronto, the libraries
> are not just one of the largest and best-equipped systems in North America
> but also have a strong collection of materials for Buddhist Studies.
>
> The Greater Toronto Area is home to one of the most densely populated and
> complex Buddhist communities in the world, with around a hundred temples,
> monasteries, and centres teaching in dozens of languages. This thriving
> diversity of practice, culture and teachings offers a unique opportunity
> for the universitys Buddhist Studies and Global Asia programs to foster
> wider university-community linkages.
>

> the life of the department and would have the following specific academic

>
> *To guide a specialized workshop over 1-2 days. The theme, format, and
> projected enrolments would be at the discretion of the visitor, in
