Other Information

David Higgins is a doctoral candidate at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, in the Section de Langues et Civilisations Orientales and a Sessional Lecturer in Religious Studies at the University of Victoria, Canada. His current research concerns the phenomenological distinction between dualistic mind (sems) and primordial awareness (ye shes) as it has been articulated and defended in the Tibetan rNying ma tradition from the 8th to 14th centuries. His dissertation will offer a critical study of rNying ma views on mind and attempt to clarify their complex reltionship to earlier Madhyamaka, Yogācāra and Vajrayāna views.
