Goodman Lecture Series
Since June of 2021, Khyentse Foundation regularly features lectures delivered by foremost Buddhist Studies scholars from our partner institutions and universities in Asia, Europe, and North America. The program is named for long-time Khyentse Foundation friend and advisor Professor Steven D. Goodman (1945–2020), whose unique and joyful teaching style was a reflection of his great intellect, light-heartedness, humor, and deep desire to make the dharma accessible to others. Intended to create a bridge between academic and non-academic audiences, the Goodman Lectures present bold ideas and innovative research in an accessible format. All lectures are freely available online.
