The Buddhist forum

Abstract

The first five issues of The Buddhist Forum have been published and distributed by the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. After the revision conducted during the past few years of its policy on publishing under its own imprint, the School has decided to discontinue many of its publications, including The Buddhist Forum. This Institute has reached an agreement with the School and taken over the future publication and distribution of The Buddhist Forum. However, the School of Oriental and African Studies continues to retain the ownership and distribution of the remaining stock of the first five issues. The name “Buddhist Forum” also refers to a series of seminars, which were convened at the School of Oriental and African Studies between 1987 and 1997. It is anticipated that the Buddhist Forum seminars will resume in the near future and continue to provide good academic papers for publication in the future issues of The Buddhist Forum. In addition to publishing the seminar papers, the Institute would like to invite scholars worldwide to contribute articles and monographs for inclusion in the future issues of The Buddhist Forum.
