Richard Mather was born in Baoding, China and grew up there until he came to United States to go to college, graduating summa cum laude in 1935 from Princeton University. His plans to return to China were interrupted by the war and he instead went on to the University of California, Berkeley to pursue his PhD in Chinese literature, studying with Peter Boodberg and others.<br> Mather came to the University of Minnesota in 1949 to found the study of Chinese language and literature. In the following decades, he was a major force in Chinese studies at the university and across the nation. He was central to establishing the field of early medieval Chinese studies with his monumental translation, ''A New Account of Tales of the World'' (University of Minnesota Press, 1976). Even after his 1984 retirement Mather was very active, publishing ''The Poet Shen Yüeh: The Reticent Marquis'' (Princeton UP, 1988) and the two-volume ''The Age of Eternal Brilliance: Three Lyric Poets of the Yung-ming Era'' (Brill, 2003). His ''New Account'' was reissued in a revised second edition by U of Michigan Press in 2002.

Professor Richard King studied philosophy and religious studies at the University of Hull before completing a PhD on Hindu and Buddhist philosophy at the University of Lancaster. He has worked in a number of different universities including Stirling, Derby, Vanderbilt (Nashville, USA), Glasgow and has been at the University of Kent since 2013.
Richard describes himself as a philosopher and a historian of ideas by inclination with an interest in classical South Asian thought and postcolonial theory. His work explores the intersection between what we call philosophy and mysticism/spirituality and the ways in which European colonialism has influenced (and continues to influence) modern interpretations of classical Indian traditions.
Richard's research explores interdisciplinary issues in the intersection between Religious Studies, Philosophy, the comparative study of mysticism/spirituality and the study of Asia. He works on theory and method questions in the study of religion (see Religion/Theory/Critique, Columbia University Press, 2017) and, in particular, has written about the impact of coloniality/modernity on the representation of Hindu and Buddhist traditions in the West.
He is one of a number of key writers who have called into question the usefulness of the category of religion as a cross-cultural variable, especially with regard to the history of South Asian traditions. He is also known for his writings on colonialism and the modern formation of the category of Hinduism. More specifically, Richard is a specialist of classical Indian (Hindu Brahmanical and Buddhist) thought, with specific interests in early Indian Mahayana Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta.
Richard has a particular interest in postcolonial theory and the challenges involved in seeking to globalise and expand philosophy beyond its western horizons. (see Orientalism and Religion, Routledge; and Indian Philosophy, 2000). He is also interested in the impact that neoliberal capitalism has played in the emergence of new forms of eastern-inspired spirituality in the contemporary period (see Selling Spirituality, Carrette and King, Routledge, 2005).
From 2007 to 2009 Richard served on the advisory committee to the Guggenheim Museum in New York for 'The Third Mind. a major exhibition exploring Asian philosophical influences on modern American art and also as co-chair of the Cultural History for the Study of Religion group for the American Academy of Religion.
From 2017-2020 he is co-investigator for a Leverhulme Trust funded research project which seeks to map mindfulness training provision in the UK (Twitter: @MapMindful)
Richard's current research work explores apophatic (that is, negative or ‘unsaying’) discourse in classical Buddhist, Vedantic and Christian literature and the ways in which these trends have been largely excluded from the history of philosophy and framed by the category of mysticism. He is also working on the rise of 'mindfulness” in the 21st-century, exploring how an ancient Buddhist meditative practice became a modern secular therapy now widely adopted in healthcare, business and military contexts.

Morris was born at Bermondsey on 8 September 1833, of Welsh parentage. He was trained as an elementary schoolmaster at St John's College, Battersea, but his education was for the most part self-acquired. In 1869, he was appointed Winchester lecturer on English language and literature in King's College School.<br> In 1871, he was ordained, and served for two years as curate of Christ Church, Camberwell. From 1875 to 1888 he served as headmaster of the Royal Masonic School for Boys at Wood Green, and afterwards for a short time master of the grammar school of Dedham, Essex. His diploma of LL.D. was a Lambeth degree, conferred in 1870 by Archbishop Tait.<br> As early as 1857, Morris showed the bent of his mind by publishing a little book on ''The Etymology of Local Names''. He was one of the first to join as an active member the Chaucer, Early English, and Philological societies, founded by his lifelong friend, Dr F. J. Furnivall. None of his colleagues surpassed him in the devotion which he expended upon editing the oldest remains of our national literature from the original manuscript sources, on the same scientific principles as adopted by classical scholars. Between 1862 and 1880, he brought out no fewer than twelve volumes for the Early English Text Society, including three series of ''Homilies'' (1868 onwards) and two of ''Alliterative Poems'' (1864). In 1866, he edited Chaucer for the ''Aldine Poets'' (2nd ed. 1891). This was the first edition to be based upon manuscripts since that of Thomas Tyrwhitt, and remained the standard one until it was superseded by W. W. Skeat's edition of 1894–7. In 1869, he edited Edmund Spenser for Macmillan's ''Globe'' edition, again using manuscripts as well as the original editions. In 1867, he published ''Specimens of Early English'' for the Clarendon Press, Oxford, which was augmented by Skeat in later editions.<br> Morris's long experience as a schoolmaster also prompted him to undertake a series of successful educational works. The first was ''Historical Outlines of English Accidence'' (1872), which went through some twenty editions, before being thoroughly revised after the author's death by Henry Bradley and Leon Kellner. In 1874 he brought out ''Elementary Lessons in Historical English Grammar''; and in the same year a primer of ''English Grammar''.<br> Scarcely had he struck out on this remunerative line of authorship than he turned aside to devote the remainder of his life to the study of Pāli, the sacred language of Buddhism. The stimulus came from his friendship with Professor Thomas Rhys Davids, founder of the Pāli Text Society. For the PTS he edited four texts between 1882 and 1888, more than any other contributor up to that point. But he did not confine himself to editing: his familiarity with the development of early English caused him to take a special interest in the corresponding position of Pāli, as standing midway between the ancient Sanskrit and the modern vernaculars, and as branching out into various dialects known as Prakrits. These relations of Pāli he expounded in a series of letters to the Academy, which were valuable not only for their lexicographical facts, but also as illustrating the historical growth of the languages of India. The last work he was able to complete was a paper on this subject, read before the International Congress of Orientalists in London in September 1892. He was not personably able to correct the proofs of this paper for publication in the ''Transactions''. ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Morris_(philology) Source Accessed June 15, 2020])
Richard Hayes (aka Dharmacārī Dayāmati) (born 1945) is an Emeritus professor of Buddhist philosophy at the University of New Mexico.[1] He received his Ph.D. in Sanskrit and Indian studies from the University of Toronto in 1982.
Hayes is a noted scholar in the field of Buddhist Sanskrit, specializing in the study of Dharmakīrti and Dignāga.[3]
Hayes was formerly Associate Professor of religious studies at McGill University in Canada. He joined the University of New Mexico in the fall of 2003 [4] and retired in 2013.
Hayes was co-founder, moderator and a prolific contributor to the online discussion group Buddha-L. Buddha-L attracted a mix of scholars and amateurs and hosted vigorous and at times acrimonious debates.
As well as teaching Buddhism and Sanskrit, Hayes is himself a Buddhist and a Quaker. In a brief blog bio he says he was "Initiated as a dharmachari with the name Dayāmati into the Triratna Buddhist Order on January 26, 2000. I am also a member of Albuquerque Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers)."[5] Hayes is a noted essayist (Land of No Buddha) and blogger (New City of Friends, Out of a Living Silence) of considerable wit and clarity. He has expressed vehement political opinions, and been critical in particular of Republican politicians. ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Hayes_(professor) Source Accessed Oct 9, 2024]) +
Richard Schmidt, 1866-1939, was an Indologist. Schmidt became known as the author of the work “Fakirs and Fakirtum in Old and New India”, published in Berlin in 1908. In this work he describes various ''asanas'' and ''pranayamas'', which many people in Germany, including Gustav Meyrink, instructed to practice yoga. For a long time he coined the idea that yogi and fakir are the same ... (The term fakir comes from Islam and refers to a follower of Islamic Sufism, i.e. a dervish).<br>
Schmidt studied at the University of Halle. His Indian teachers were Richard Pischel and Karl Friedrich Geldner. Schmidt received his doctorate in 1890. After he had already submitted some translations of literary texts from Sanskrit, he completed his habilitation in 1898 in Halle bei Pischel.<br>
Richard Schmidt worked as a private lecturer at the University of Halle from 1898-1910 alongside Pischel, Theodor Zachariae, and Theodor Hultzsch. The course catalogs from Halle identify Richard Schmidt as a multi-faceted university professor. From 1904 to 1910 Richard Schmidt was the librarian of the German Oriental Society (DMG), having previously been their bookkeeper.<br>
Schmidt's scientific activity was mainly focused on the creation of reliable text editions and translations of works of ancient Indian narrative literature and on the development of Sanskrit texts on erotology (Kamashastra ). In doing so, he made important source material accessible to researchers in other disciplines. He made great contributions to the DMG library, including the incorporation of the Socins library.<br>
In 1910 Richard Schmidt accepted an appointment at the University of Münster as professor of Indology. An important fruit of his time in Münster are the supplements to Böhtlingk's Sanskrit dictionary in a shorter version (pw), which give the sum of his numerous previously published contributions to Sanskrit lexicography.

Jesuit Fr. Richard F. Sherburne died on September 28, 2013, at the age of 87 years and after a long illness. He resided at St. Camillus in Wauwatosa, Wis., since 2008. Father Sherburne was dean of students at Marquette University and chaplain of Marquette University’s Law School.
Father Sherburne was a graduate of Marquette University High School and received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in classics at Saint Louis University. He was ordained a priest at Church of the Gesu in Milwaukee on June 20, 1956, and finished his Jesuit training in Decatur, Ill.
His service at the law school after retirement was his second stint working at Marquette. He taught classics, advised foreign students, and served three years as dean of students at the university earlier in his career. His interactions with foreign students instilled an interest in Asian culture and Eastern religions. He left Marquette in 1968 and spent a year in Darjeeling, India, living and studying with Canadian Jesuits. Father Sherburne received a second master’s degree and his doctorate at the University of Washington in Seattle. Beginning in 1977, he taught religious studies at Seattle University, where he retired in 1996.
His published works include a 300-page annotated translation of the Tibetan texts of Atisha, an 11th-century Buddhist teacher. He also worked with Nancy Moore Gettelman, a friend of his when both worked at Marquette during the 1960s, on a series of videos, “Bhutan: A Himilayan Cultural Diary.” ([https://www.jesuitswest.org/in-memoriam/richard-f-sherburne-father/ Source Accessed August 18, 2025]) +
Rick Fields (1942–1999) was a journalist, poet, and leading authority on Buddhism's history and development in the United States.
Mr. Field helped found ''Tricycle: The Buddhist Review'' in 1991 and had worked for the magazine as a contributing editor.
Mr. Fields wrote several books, the best known of which is ''How the Swans Came to the Lake: A Narrative History of Buddhism in America'' (Shambhala, 1981).
The book traces Buddhism's origins in the United States from Chinese railroad workers and American transcendentalists like Henry David Thoreau in the mid-19th century, to Japanese immigrants on the West Coast at the turn of the century, to the writer Alan Watts and Beat poets like Allen Ginsberg in the 1950's, to the mass popularity of Zen Buddhism and the introduction of Tibetan Buddhism in the 1960's and 70's.
Fields was also the author of several other books, including ''Chop Wood, Carry Water'' and ''The Code of the Warrior''. ([https://www.nytimes.com/1999/06/11/us/rick-fields-57-poet-and-expert-on-buddhism.html Adapted from Source Dec 6, 2023]0 +

Riga Shakya is a PhD candidate at the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at Columbia University. His dissertation delves deeply into the emergence of lay Tibetan Buddhist life writing in the 18th century and its reception up to the 20th century. At once a literary and historical study, Riga examines the innovative use of Indic literary aesthetics in the life writing of 18th century Tibetan ministers, and offers a nuanced, critical understanding of their life-writing as a form of Tibetan Buddhist historiography. Borrowing Riga’s own wording, his project “is the first to examine the emergence of lay Tibetan Buddhist life writing”. He self-consciously refuses the hard dichotomy between the secular and religious spheres often enforced in contemporary academia. In its stead, he privileges an indigenous Tibetan perspective that foregrounds the influence of the Five Minor Sciences on the formation of the lay intellectual elite in the 18th century. This offers readers the opportunity to consider the seamless integration of ‘Buddhism’ and ‘Tibetan-ness’ in the context where these lives were both lived and written, forging a fundamentally decolonial project. Other projects include a longue durée environmental history of the Ganden Podrang’s (1642-1959) management of natural disaster and a study of Tibetan language standardization and print culture at PRC minority publishing houses between 1953 and 1966. +
Rigdzin Shikpo grew up in Dalston in East London, and at an early age he took a keen interest in Buddhism, which he has now studied for over 65 years. As a young man, he previously worked as a physicist, mathematician and a computer consultant and practised for nine years under the instruction of Theravadin monks while becoming closely associated with the Buddhist Society in London.
In 1965, he met his root guru Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche who was studying in Oxford at the time. Trungpa Rinpoche entrusted Rigdzin Shikpo at a very early stage with some of most profound Nyingma Dzogchen teachings and together they translated seminal Dzogchen texts and Sutras from Tibetan into English. Trungpa Rinpoche also encouraged him to take teachings and guidance from his own teacher HH Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. In 1975 Trungpa Rinpoche established the Longchen Foundation in consultation with HH Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, appointing Rigdzin Shikpo as spiritual director.
When Chögyam Trungpa left to teach in the United States, Rigdzin Shikpo continued to follow his instruction, from time to time travelling to America to see him to receive further teachings. Khyentse Rinpoche also told him to take further Dzogchen instruction from Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche, an eminent yogin and scholar who was also a student of HH Khyentse Rinpoche. Since the deaths of Trungpa Rinpoche and Khyentse Rinpoche, Khenpo Rinpoche has been Rigdzin Shikpo’s main source of guidance.
In 1990, Rigdzin Shikpo went into a traditional three year retreat under the supervision of Khenpo Rinpoche in a semi-detached house in Marston, Oxford. On finishing his retreat in 1993, as a sign of his accomplishment, he was given the title ‘Rigdzin Shikpo’. ‘Rigdzin’ (Skt. ''vidyādhara'', ) means ‘awareness holder’ and ‘Shikpo’ means ‘beyond conepts’. Rigdzin Shikpo teaches his students the whole of the path according to the lineage transmissions he received from his own teachers. They encouraged him to transmit the teachings according to his inspiration in response to the needs of his students.
Khenpo Rinpoche emphasises that the Longchen Foundation lineage is more than simply an organisation—it is a Buddhist school in its own right. It is the living embodiment of the Mahayana and Maha Ati (Dzogchen) teachings and as such has a particular significance for the expression of the Buddha’s teachings in the West.

Ringu Tulku Rinpoche was born in Kham Lingtsang, in eastern Tibet, and recognized by His Holiness the Sixteenth Gyalwang Karmapa as the incarnation of one of the tulkus of a Kagyüpa monastery in his home province. When asked to introduce himself during an interview with Alexander Berzin's Study Buddhism website, he replied, "My name is Ringu Tulku. Ringu is the name of my monastery, which is in Eastern Tibet. I myself was mainly educated in Sikkim, India. I studied under different khenpos and lamas, but I consider Dilgo Khentse Rinpoche and the 16th Karmapa as my main teachers. I received all my ordinations from them, but I’ve also had the opportunity to receive teachings from all four schools of Tibetan Buddhism." (Source: [https://studybuddhism.com/en/essentials/interviews/interview-with-ringu-tulku Study Buddhism])
Ringu Tulku Rinpoche is a Tibetan Buddhist Master of the Kagyu Order. He was trained in all schools of Tibetan Buddhism under many great masters such as HH the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa and HH Dilgo Khentse Rinpoche. He took his formal education at Namgyal Institute of Tibetology, Gangtok and Sampurnananda Sanskrit University, Varanasi, India and has served as Professor of Tibetology in Sikkim for 17 years. His doctoral thesis was on the Ecumenical Movement in Tibet.
Since 1990 he has been traveling and teaching Buddhism and meditation at more than 50 Universities, Institutes and Buddhist Centres in Europe, USA, Canada, Australia and Asia. He also participates in various interfaith dialogues. He authored several books on Buddhism as well as some children’s books both in Tibetan and European languages.
He founded Bodhicharya (www.bodhicharya.org ), an international organization that coordinates the worldwide activities to preserve and transmit Buddhist teachings, to promote inter-cultural dialogues and educational & social projects. He also founded Rigul Trust which supports his projects in his birthplace, Rigul, Tibet (www.rigultrust.org ).
Rinpoche is the Official Representative of His Holiness the 17th Karmapa for Europe and the Founder of Karmapa Foundation Europe (www.karmapafoundation.eu).
