About the speaker
Henry Albery is currently a JSPS International Fellow hosted by the Institute for Advanced Studies on Asia at The University of Tokyo. His research considers the emergence of Buddhist monasticism in the Indic Northwest (eastern Afghanistan and northern Pakistan) around the turn of the Common Era, with a present focus on the formation of the monastic legal codes and the emergence of new narrative genres, such as avadāna. He is also a project member of An English Translation of a Sanskrit Yoga Manual from Kučā, funded by The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation.
