Here is a lecture on Indian Cosmology as seen through Japanese Buddhism. I hope everyone finds it relevant and helpful to the discussion here. Enjoy!

Max Moerman - Indian Cosmology in Japanese Buddhism

Max Moerman gives a highly illuminating talk on “The Centrality of Indian Cosmology in the Japanese Buddhist Visual Culture” at the Ho Center for Buddhist Studies at Stanford University. Moerman discusses how Japanese Buddhism attempted to systematized Indian cosmology as a challenge to Western Christian cosmology being taught in Asia. [Talk by Max Moerman at Stanford]
