DharmaRealm 2.0

The nerds nerd out about nerdy things! Specifically, a couple of Buddhist Studies scholars (nerds) discuss (nerd out) what it means to be a Buddhist Studies scholar (nerdy things). It’s our third and final conversation with the brilliant Dr. Natalie Quli in a conversation that meanders through the academic construction and boundary maintenance of Buddhism-as-religion, the role of scholars and teachers vis-a-vis Buddhism, and how we participate in authenticity discourses about what is and what isn’t Buddhism.&nbsp;



We want to thank Dr. Quli for joining us! Check out our other episodes <a href="http://www.dharmarealm.com/?tag=natalie-quli">here</a>. And the “someone” Scott couldn’t remember in-episode is Stephen C. Berkwitz, “<a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/0048721X.2015.1091217">Textbook Buddhism: Introductory Books on the Buddhist Religion</a>.”

Buddhist Studies Scholarship, with special quest Natalie Fisk Quli

It’s our second episode with our special guest, Dr. Natalie Fisk Quli. We’re continuing our conversation about authenticity, this time around beginning with a conversation about merit, merit accumulation and transference, in the Mahayana and Theravada traditions. This gets us going into other weird and cool places like economic models for karma, the declining age of the dharma, how texts and monks function as fields of merit, and colonialism and Orientalism. Oh, and because it would be the DharmaRealm without a little nerdiness, D&amp;D.



Check out Dr. Quli’s <a href="http://www.dharmarealm.com/?p=8878">last episode</a>, and stick around! She’ll be back for one more!

Merit practices, with special guest Natalie Fisk Quli

We’ve got a special guest today! Dr. Natalie Fisk Quli is a teacher at the <a href="https://www.shin-ibs.edu/academics/faculty/dr-natalie-e-f-quli/">Institute of Buddhist Studies</a>, author, and co-editor of a couple of books with Scott. She’s joining us today to discuss the idea of authenticity, building off a post on the website <a href="https://fakebuddhaquotes.com/no-one-saves-us-but-ourselves-no-one-can-and-no-one-may-we-ourselves-must-walk-the-path/">Fake Buddha Quotes</a> that sort of maybe possibly suggests that Pure Land (and all of Mahayana?) contradicts the authentic teachings of the Buddha. So in our usual fashion, we meander through the ideas of canonicity, discourse, power, boundary construction and maintenance, and how all of these things co-create this thing we conveniently think of as “Buddhism.” 



Dr. Quli’s going to be joining us for a couple more episodes, so stay tuned!

Authentic Buddhism, with special guest Natalie Fisk Quli

In a weird way, this is sort of part-two of our post-truth conversation since we’re tackling a perennial problem in the contemporary study and practice of Buddhism — can we know what the historical Buddha really taught? Can we know what he really said? And should that even matter? As always, by tuning in to the DharmaRealm podcast, you’re not going to get an answer to that question, and will probably walk away more confused than you were before. But, hey, we will tell you something about canonical texts, fake Buddha quotes, buddhavacana.&nbsp;
