DESCRIPTION:Poster\nAlexander von Rospatt is Professor for Buddhist and So
 uth Asian Studies at UC Berkeley. He specializes in the doctrinal history 
 of Indian Buddhism\, and in Newar Buddhism\, the only Indic Mahayana tradi
 tion that continues to persist in its original South Asian setting (in the
  Kathmandu Valley) right to the present. His new\, forthcoming book "The S
 vayambhu Caitya and its Renovations" deals with the historical renovations
  of the Svayambhu Stupa of Kathmandu. Based on Newar manuscripts and sever
 al years of fieldwork in Nepal\, he reconstructs the ritual history of the
 se renovations and their social contexts.  His current research focuses o
 n Newar Buddhist narrative literature and on life-cycle rituals of old age
  among the Newars. Prof. von Rospatt was trained in Germany and England\, 
 and taught at the universities of Leipzig\, Vienna and Oxford before joini
 ng UC Berkeley in January 2004
