Kenjo Shirasaki is a Japanese scholar specializing in Buddhist philosophy, particularly the epistemological and doctrinal aspects of Indian Buddhism. His research has focused on analyzing the philosophical positions of prominent figures like Mokṣākaragupta (ca. 1050–1292 CE) and Jitāri (ca. 940–980 CE), both of whom played significant roles in the final stage of Indian Buddhism. Shirasaki's studies examine their contrasting positions within the Yogācāra school, specifically the Sākāravāda (the doctrine of representation) and Nirākāravāda (the doctrine of non-representation) sub-schools, using textual evidence from works like ''Tarkabhāṣā'' and ''Sugatamatavibhaṅgabhāṣya''.
Shirasaki has contributed to clarifying these doctrinal distinctions by analyzing references to earlier scholars such as Dharmakīrti, Prajñākaragupta, Śāntarakṣita, and Ratnākaraśānti. His work highlights the complexities in classifying these sub-schools, a topic also debated by other scholars like Toru Funayama. (Generated by Perplexity Mar 21, 2025) +

Kenneth Lewis Kraft (July 16, 1949-October 1, 2018) was a professor of Buddhist studies and Japanese religions (emeritus) at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
====Education====
Kraft received a B.A. from Harvard University in 1971. He holds an M.A. in Asian Languages and Cultures from the University of Michigan (1978) and a Ph.D. in East Asian Studies from Princeton University (1984).
====Career====
In 1984, Kraft became a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard's Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies. He joined the Lehigh University faculty in 1990 and was appointed a full professor in 2001. At Lehigh he has served as chair of the Religion Studies department and director of the College Seminar Program.
He was a visiting professor at the Stanford University Japan Center and a visiting scholar at the International Research Institute for Zen Buddhism, both in Kyoto. He also taught at the University of Pennsylvania and Swarthmore College.
Kraft has served on the advisory boards of the Buddhist Peace Fellowship in Berkeley, California; the Forum on Religion and Ecology at Yale University; the ''Journal of Buddhist Ethics''; the Rochester Zen Center; and the World Faiths Development Dialogue in Washington DC.
In 1992, he was featured in "The Creative Spirit," a PBS television series. In 2008, he participated in "Secrets of the Samurai Sword," a NOVA documentary, and, in 2009, "Inquiry into the Great Matter: A History of Zen Buddhism," an independent film.
In his early research, Kraft explored the transmission of Zen from China to Japan in the 13th and 14th centuries. Zen master Daitō, a seminal figure in this process, is best known as an exemplar of post-enlightenment training. Kraft documented Daitō's life, his teaching, and his role in the development of capping phrases (''jakugo''), a form of spiritual/literary commentary.
The transmission of Zen from Asia to the West accelerated after World War II. In 1988, Kraft edited ''Zen: Tradition and Transition'', a collaboration by present-day Zen teachers and scholars. It addressed some of the same issues that had arisen in Daitō's era: What is real Zen? What are the criteria of authenticity?
Buddhism's encounter with the West in the 20th century inspired an international movement known as engaged Buddhism. Its leaders include the 14th Dalai Lama and Thích Nhất Hạnh. Kraft began writing about engaged Buddhism in the mid-1980s, at the height of the Cold War. Some of the underlying concerns can be framed as questions: What do Buddhist ethical principles signify today? What is the relation between work on oneself and work in the world? Does Buddhist nonviolence call for unwavering opposition to war, or are there exceptions?
Some observers challenge the apparent newness of engaged Buddhism. Columbia University scholar Thomas Yarnall has criticized the work of Kraft and other "modernists" who "appropriate, own, and reinvent Buddhism from the ground up." In Yarnall's view, engaged Buddhism should be seen as a revival of original Buddhism, which was more engaged than is usually assumed.
Buddhism may have resources that are freshly relevant in a time of ecological crisis. Dharma Rain: Sources of Buddhist Environmentalism, an anthology coedited in 2000 by Kraft and Stephanie Kaza, was an early contribution to an emerging field.

Professor Liberman received his Phd from the University of California, San Diego in 1981. He joined the University of Oregon in 1983. His specialties are ethnomethodology, intercultural communication, race relations, and social phenomenology.
Liberman has completed ethnomethodological studies of mundane interaction among traditional Australian Aboriginal people (''Understanding Interaction in Central Australia'', Routledge), the practices of reasoning of Tibetan scholar-monks (''Dialectical Practice in Tibetan Philosophical Culture'', Rowman & Littlefield), and the uses of objectivity in coffee tasting by professional coffee tasters in 14 countries (''Tasting Coffee'', SUNY Press). He provided a detailed ethnomethodological account and assessment of sophistry based on a video-recorded Tibetan debate in his ''Husserl’s Criticism of Reason'' (Lexington Books). His ''More Studies in Ethnomethodology'' (SUNY Press) won the Best Book Award from the EMCA Section of the American Sociological Association.
He is presently undertaking a long-term comparative study of negative dialectics in Tibetan Buddhist and postmodern epistemological practice. ([https://cas.uoregon.edu/directory/sociology/all/liberman Source Accessed Jan 17, 2025]) +
Kenneth Roy Norman FBA (21 July 1925 – 5 November 2020) was a British philologist at the University of Cambridge and a leading authority on Pali and other Middle Indo-Aryan languages.
Norman was born on 21 July 1925, and was educated at Taunton School in Somerset and Downing College, Cambridge, receiving his M.A. in 1954.
He was trained as a classicist and studied classical philology, in the form which was current in his student days, i.e. the investigation of the relationship between Latin, Greek and Sanskrit in particular, and between other Indo-European languages in general. He went on to study Sanskrit and the dialects associated with Sanskrit—the Prakrits—and was appointed to teach the Prakrits, or Middle Indo-Aryan, as they are sometimes called, lying as they do between Old Indo-Aryan, i.e. Sanskrit, and New Indo-Aryan, i.e. the modern Indo-Aryan languages spoken mainly in North India.
The whole of his academic career was spent at Cambridge. He was appointed Lecturer in Indian Studies in 1955, Reader in 1978, and Professor of Indian Studies in 1990. He retired in 1992.
From 1981 to 1994 he was President of the Pali Text Society, and from January to March 1994 he was the Bukkyō Dendō Kyōkai Visiting Professor at the School of Oriental and African Studies.
He was made a Foreign Member of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters in 1983 and a Fellow of the British Academy in 1985. ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K._R._Norman Adapted from Source July 16, 2023]) +

Kensur Ngawang Lekden was a distinguished Tibetan Buddhist scholar and abbot who played a pivotal role in transmitting the Geluk tradition's philosophical teachings to the West during the early 1970s.
Born in 1900, Lekden began his life as a singer and player of a Dranyen before entering the Gomang College of Drepung Monastic University. He initially trained to develop the multitonal voice required to become a chant master but was encouraged to pursue the scholarly path instead, eventually earning the prestigious Geshe degree.
Lekden served as the former abbot of the prestigious Tantric College of Lower Lhasa, a position that placed him at the very top of the traditional Geluk hierarchy in Tibet, just a few rungs below the Dalai Lama himself. He spent the first 60 years of his life in traditional Tibet, escaping just before His Holiness the Dalai Lama following the Chinese occupation.
After leaving Tibet, Kensur Lekden lived in France until Geshe Wangyal invited him to the United States . In 1970, at age 70, he accepted an invitation from Prof. Richard Robinson and Jeffrey Hopkins to teach in the Buddhist Studies program at the University of Wisconsin, becoming one of the first high-ranking Tibetan lamas to teach Madhyamaka philosophy at an American university.
Kensur Lekden taught a seminar on Madhyamaka in the fall of 1970, which Jeffrey Hopkins translated. His teachings profoundly influenced the first generation of Western Tibetan Buddhist scholars, introducing them to rigorous philosophical texts and meditation practices that had previously been inaccessible to Western students.
His teachings were later compiled in the book ''Meditations of a Tibetan Tantric Abbot'', translated and edited by Jeffrey Hopkins and published by the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives in Dharamsala. The work presents core practices of the Mahāyāna Buddhist path and reflects his deep knowledge of both sūtra and tantra.
Kensur Ngawang Lekden passed away in 1973, leaving a lasting legacy as a bridge between traditional Tibetan Buddhism and Western scholarship. His influence continues through his students, including scholar Anne Klein, and through the foundational role he played in establishing Tibetan Buddhist studies in American universities.
Kensur Yeshey Tupden (Ye-shes-thub-bstan, 1916-1988) was one of the most respected among the last generation of Gelukba scholars to complete their training in Tibet prior to the Chinese takeover in 1959. Kensur came into exile in India in the early 1960s, and during his ten years as abbot he oversaw the reestablishment of Loseling College, Drebung Monastery in Mundgod, India.

Khempo Yurmed Tinly Rinpoche was born in 1950 in Kham, Eastern Tibet, and was recognized as a reincarnate tulku by His Holiness Nyoshul Lungtok Tulku. He was one of the youngest members of a group of two thousand Tibetans who fled into exile. Tied to a horse, the young tulku was one of only about two hundred who reached safety. Khempo Rinpoche pursued his Buddhist studies at Mindrolling, Dzogchen, Payul, and Tsopema monasteries in India under teachers such as Khochhen Rinpoche, Khenpo Tsondu Rinpoche, Khenpo Rabgye Rinpoche, Zonong Tulku Rinpoche, and His Holiness Mindrolling Trichen Rinpoche. At the age of twenty-five he received his master’s degree from Sanskrit University in Varanasi, the same year that His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche appointed him lecturer in charge of the university’s Nyingma studies program. Two years later he was awarded the degree of khenpo. He later taught at the new Nyingmapa Institute in Gangtok, Sikkim, which he was instrumental in opening. In 1994, after several years as abbot of Gantay Monastery in Bhutan, Rinpoche came to America at the suggestion of Professor Robert Thurman and the request of Chagdud Tulku. A year later he founded Osel Dorje Nyingpo in the United States and worked to further world peace through the principles of Vajrayana Buddhism and interfaith understanding. Soon thereafter he became abbot of Zilnon Kagyeling Monastery in Dharamsala, India, and in 2000 he was selected to represent the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism at the United Nations Millennium World Peace Summit. He passed away in January 2005 while visiting his family’s home in the Tibetan settlement of Kham Khatok near Dehra Dun in North India.(Source : ''[[Portraits of Tibetan Buddhist Masters]]'', p. 66.) +
HE Kyabje Khenzur Rinpoche Lobzang Tsetan is a Tibetan Buddhist monk from Ladakh, India who has been traveling and teaching in the United States for over thirty years. He began his monastic life at age seven in Stok, his family village in Ladakh, India. At age thirteen he joined the Stok Monastery to study and memorize Buddhist scriptures. In 1952, when he was fifteen years old, he walked 800 miles with his father from Ladakh to Shigatse, Tibet to enter the renowned Tashi Lhunpo Monastery. Rinpoche received his novice monk vows there and studied Buddhist philosophy at the monastery’s Skilkhang College with many prominent Tibetan scholars.
His dream was to receive the Geshe degree in Buddhist philosophy, roughly equivalent to a Ph.D. This dream was deferred for him when the Chinese government intensified their policy of cultural genocide on occupied Tibet in 1959, so Rinpoche escaped to his homeland in 1960. Back in the village of his birth, he studied tantric practices and then joined the School of Buddhist Philosophy in Choglamsar for seven years. Following this Rinpoche went to Varanasi, India, where many high lamas in exile had resettled and built new monastic colleges, and received his Shastri degree, the equivalent of a bachelor’s degree. Afterward, he felt a responsibility to return to Stok and contribute to the community through teaching, so from 1974-1978 Rinpoche taught high school in Ladakh. Then he received a special invitation to come to the United States and teach at the first Tibetan Buddhist learning center in America, Labsum Shedrub Ling in Washington, New Jersey. He went in hopes of learning English and completing his Geshe degree studies. He accomplished both, and in 1984 returned to the Drepung Monastery for commencement.
Since that time Rinpoche has been traveling and teaching in the United States for part of the year, and returning to Ladakh during the summer months to oversee activities at the Siddhartha School and later at the monastery. His association with the Manjushri Center in Amherst and other connections have provided him with extensive teaching positions and lecturing opportunities at a number of schools including Smith, Bowdoin, Amherst, Hampshire, Drew, Maine College of Art, Bangor Theological Seminary, Phillips Exeter Academy, Deerfield Academy, Stanford, and others.
In 1995, Rinpoche founded The Siddhartha School in his home village in Stok, Ladakh. The school seeks to preserve Tibetan Buddhist Culture and language while giving the children of this remote Himalayan area a well-rounded education, which allows them to represent themselves and their culture in our rapidly evolving global community.
In 1996, shortly after he founded the school, H.H. Dalai Lama, appointed Rinpoche to be the head abbot of the newly reestablished Tashi Lhunpo Monastery in India. (This is in the absence of the 11th Panchen Lama, one of Tibet’s most revered reincarnating masters and traditionally Tashi Lhunpo’s abbot, who has been missing since the Chinese Government took him and his family into custody when he was 4 years old.) Ven. Khen Rinpoche humbly set aside this great honor, with the Dalai Lama’s blessings and support, so that he could devote himself completely to the Siddhartha School. However, in 2005 His Holiness again asked Rinpoche to accept the abbot position, and this time he could not refuse. In July 2005 Rinpoche was installed as Kachen or head abbot, of the Tashi Lhunpo Monastery in southern India.

<big>'''An Introduction to Khenpo Appey Foundation'''</big><br>
Khenpo Appey Foundation (KAF) was established in 2010 to honor the most Venerable Khenchen Appey Rinpoche (1927-2010), an eminent, recognized, and humble Tibetan Buddhist scholar and practitioner who dedicated his life exclusively to the propagation of the Buddhadharma. The foundation was established by Mdm Doreen Goh, a devoted follower and sponsor of Khenchen Appey Rinpoche. Inspired by Khenchen Appey Rinpoche’s vision, KAF is a non-profit organization dedicated to the support and enhancement of Buddhist study and practice. KAF’s primary aim is to extend the Buddha’s wisdom and compassion as widely as possible, in order to benefit all beings.
<big>'''Short Biography'''</big><br>
Khenpo Appey was born in Kusé in the kingdom of Dergé in 1927. He studied at Serjong Monastery and later at the Kham-jé shedra at Dzongsar Monastery.
At the age of nine he became a monk at Serjong Monastery, where a year later he received his first teachings from Gapa Khenpo Jamgyal, also known as Khenpo Jamyang Gyaltsen.
For nine years, from the age of 14 to 23, at Serjong Shedra, Khenpo Appey studied ‘the thirteen classical texts’ based on Khenpo Shenga’s famous annotation commentaries. During his last two years at the shedra he studied with Khenpo Dragyab Lodrö who later became the fifth khenpo at Dzongsar Shedra and wrote a commentary on the ninth chapter of the Bodhicharyavatara. After his nine years of intensive study at Serjong Shedra, Khenpo Appey went to the shedra at Dzongsar Monastery, where he was able to continue his studies under Khenpo Dragyab Lodrö for another year. He also studied with Dezhung Ajam Rinpoche.
He went to see Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö in Sikkim in 1957. He then returned to Tibet and spent time at Ngor Monastery, but left in 1959 when Tibet was lost. He went to see Jamyang Khyentse who was ill in Sikkim. After Jamyang Khyentse passed away, in accordance with his final wishes, he began to teach Sogyal Rinpoche, giving him instruction on the Bodhicharyavatara in the Palace Monastery in the presence of Jamyang Khyentse's kudung.
Later, while Sogyal Rinpoche was attending school in Kalimpong, Khenpo Appey spent one or two years in retreat in a small village in Sikkim. He was later requested to tutor Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche. For this purpose, he founded the Sakya College in Barlow Ganj, Mussoorie, on 19th December 1972, the anniversary of Sakya Pandita. In the first year, there were only seven students. Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche studied there for five years. From 1972 to 1985, Khenpo Appey worked full time to look after the college and was responsible for teachings the classes, supervising the administration and raising funds.
In 2001 he established the International Buddhist Academy in Boudhanath, Nepal. He passed away in Nepal on Tuesday 28th December, 2010.

he was from Rahor, a branch of Dzogchen monastery founded by the Third Dzogchen Rinpoche in Gyalrong near Dergé. He was a student of Pöpa Tulku. He escaped from Tibet together with his former classmate Rahor Khenpo Tupten and went together with him to Sikkim via Bhutan.
He taught at Namdroling in South India, where he also compiled a collection of prayers and liturgies used in Nyingma rituals, and eventually returned to Tibet, where he taught at the Shri Singha Shedra at Dzogchen Monastery.
