Dear colleagues, 
I’ve mustered up the audacity to use this discussion thread to invite everyone who happens to be in Kathmandu on June 25th to my lecture, "The Fasting Bodhisattva and the Shepherds: Some Reflections on the Motif of Mocking the Ascetic in the Biography of the Buddha." The lecture will take place at 5:30 PM at the Rangjung Yeshe Institute. Details can be found in the attached announcement.
Best regards,
Dmitrii Komissarov

Dear Friends,

As many of you, I suppose, I am going to attend the WSC in Kathmandu, end of June.
I have also decided to spend some time there, before the Conference. But, although I have visited nearby India at least two dozen times, for my research and for leisure, I don't know anything about Nepal.
I am open to any advice one could give me about interesting or picturesque  spots to see, hotels or rooms where to stay, manuscripts repositories or monasteries to visit, etc.

Best regards,

Jean Michel Delire
