bio	Before starting his PhD at UW Madison in 2017 under John Dunne, Jeremy spent nine years studying at the Institute of Buddhist Dialectics in Dharamsala, India. Before that, he completed a masters of theological studies at Harvard Divinity school. He says: "After spending nine years in a Tibetan monastic college in India, I came to UW-Madison to focus on analytic philosophy. Moving between these frameworks forced me to rethink which aspects of Buddhist philosophy required what sort of arguments. These questions eventually led to my dissertation research on Buddhist soteriological concepts. Recently, there has been considerable interest in presenting a scientifically credible “Buddhism 2.0”—an idea which hinges on naturalizing nirvāṇa into a psychological state. The question of whether this makes sense is the entry point for my analysis of Buddhist arguments about nirvāṇa, from Vasubandhu and Candrakīrti to Sakya reflections on the unity of saṃsāra and nirvāṇa."

The Sakya tradition developed in the eleventh century in the Khön family of Tsang, which maintained an imperial-era lineage of Vajrakīla and which adopted a new teaching from India known as Lamdre.

The Blue Annals

A class of Mahāyāna sūtras which represents some of the earliest known literature of this genre of Buddhism. There are around forty texts associated with this category, though the most widespread is the exceedingly brief Prajñāpāramitāhṛdayasūtra, popularly known as the Heart Sūtra. This class of literature is typically associated with the second turning of the dharma wheel and especially with the teachings on emptiness (śūnyatā). As such, these texts were the primary scriptural source for the philosophy of the Madhyamaka school.
