Subject: Practical Presentation by Kiyonori Nagasaki on the Chinese Buddhist
Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2015 09:47:27 +0000

Dear Colleagues,

On 16 September between 14.00 and 15.00 Kiyonori Nagasaki (Tokyo) will present a practical introduction to the use of the SAT database, an invaluable resource for the Chinese Buddhist Canon. This database contains a huge number of digitized texts from the Chinese Buddhist Canon, and is endowed with a number of search tools that will be presented and explained. If you (or your students) are at all interested in Chinese texts, even if you are not primarily interested in Buddhism, you will find this an hour of your time very well spent.

When: September 16, 14.00-15.00 (starting at 14.00. not 14.15)
Where: Eyckhof 3-005

You do not have to sign up.

It might be convenient for you if you bring your laptop, so that you can try things on your own while the presenter shows the utility of the resource on the screen.

I would very much appreciate it if you would publicize this event, letting your students know about it. Also, please pass this mail along to anyone you think might be interested.

Thanks, Jonathan
