Reading group meeting, presentation by Wushi Lin, October 23, 2025

The next phase of the Reading Group convened on October 23, 2025, marking the first of three sessions dedicated to the study of materials prepared by Wushi Lin, a joint PhD student of Professor Bart Dessein (Ghent Centre for Buddhist Studies) and Professor Weijen Teng (Department of Buddhist Studies, Dharma Drum Institute of Liberal Arts). The materials focus on the epistemological interpretation of the no-self doctrine by the influential late Ming dynasty Buddhist monk Zibo Zhenke (紫柏真可, 1543–1603), and are part of Wushi Lin’s PhD project, “Comprehending Everything as Oneself: The No-Self Doctrine of Zibo Zhenke in Ming Dynasty Buddhism.”
