As part of the three-year FWF-funded project on “Potent Substances in Sowa Rigpa and Buddhist Rituals,” we have invited a group of dedicated scholars to discuss the productive interrelationships between materiality, agency, and power in Tibetan medical and ritual practice. How can we better understand how medicines become potent? What constitutes the agency of ritual objects and potent substances?
Organizers:
