SUMMARY:Forum:  Sikhism: the Path of Love and Service
DESCRIPTION:Sikhism is a spiritual\, religious\, and philosophical path that originated in the Punjab region of India at the end of the fifteenth century CE. Dr. Veena Howard\, a scholar of the Dharma traditions of India and of Gandhi’s philosophy\, will offer spiritual insights into the Sikh tradition. Drawing upon her experiences growing up in India\, she will show how the universal teachings of Sikhism—from the remembrance of the True Name to the practice of selfless service—embody both mystical depth and a world- affirming philosophy. She will also relate the teachings of Sikhism to a modern Sant tradition of Bihar\, in which she was raised\, highlighting resonances between the two. Dr. Howard will be participating via Zoom and will take questions from the live audience.

SUMMARY:The Foundation of Co-Becoming: A Close Look at Qi
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe philosophical idea “co-becoming” (gongsheng) in Chinese thought holds that things in the universe come into being through their relations with one another\, rather than existing as separate\, self-contained entities. \nThis way of seeing the world depends on the concept q \ni\, a term particularly familiar to Californians\, but still rich with unexplored depth. In this talk\, I will introduce qi in its Confucian and Daoist registers and explain how the concept gives rise to a world characterized by global interconnectivity. \n  \n \n  \nDr. Ya Zuo is Associate Professor and Vice Chair of the Department of History\, University of California\, Santa Barbara. She is a cultural and\nintellectual historian of middle and late imperial China\, and her work is highly interdisciplinary. She is fascinated by ideas and how they circulate in the human world. Her interdisciplinary interests afford her a broad and inclusive perspective for exploring ideas and knowledge in premodern China. Dr. Zuo’s first book\, Shen Gua’s Empiricism\, is the first book-length study in English of Shen Gua\, the best known Renaissance man in medieval China and the author of Brush Talks from Dream Brook (Mengxi bitan).
