| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
I conducted a research on the the socio-political meaning of the reaction of Tibetan lamas with an international influence, based on a comparison between Buddhist sources and the advice and guidelines provided by Tibetan lamas mainly in social media. I presented the results of such a research in the international forum “Interface Dialogue on Religion and Pandemics”, celebrated on March 2022 at SBU Tehran (Iran).
I have undertaken the location of relevant sources and worked on their translation with collaborating colleagues in order to eventually publish a collective volume. The works of Sato Hisashi and Yamaguchi Zuiho on the legal, political, and military system of the Tibetan Empire have already been translated and will eventually be included in such an intended publication.
