In this episode of 92NY talks, join two of Putin's most prominent critics for a compelling and timely discussion. Vladimir Kara-Murza, twice poisoned by Kremlin operatives and recently released from imprisonment in a landmark East-West prisoner exchange, brings firsthand insights into Putin's inner workings. A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and Senior Fellow at the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights, Kara-Murza is one of the most influential voices for Russian democratic reform. Sir Bill Browder, the CEO of Hermitage Capital Management and leader of the Global Magnitsky Justice Campaign, has been a relentless advocate for human rights and anti-corruption measures, earning him the distinction of being named Putin's “#1 enemy” by the Russian president himself.   Moderating the discussion is Richard Salomon, a Senior Fellow at the Raoul Wallenberg Centre and co-founder of the Illinois Holocaust Museum, who brings a global human rights perspective to this critical conversation. The evening concludes with a powerful recital by acclaimed pianist Mikhail Voskresensky, who fled Russia with his family in 2022 in protest of the war. Voskresensky's artistry will underscore the enduring spirit of resistance and hope.   This extraordinary event combines expert analysis, personal testimony, and the power of music to illuminate one of the most urgent geopolitical crises of our time. The conversation was recorded on February 4th, 2025, at The 92nd Street Y, New York.

Queste riflessioni sono relative a come sviluppare il bodhicitta, la mente e il cuore dell'illuminazione, l'apertura che porta al risveglio, all'empatia alla compassione verso tutti gli esseri. Sebbene sia un termine principalmente usato nel buddhismo Mahāyāna, è facile vedere i punti di contatto con i quattro stati incommensurabili dei Brahmavihāra, le Quattro Dimore Divine di gentilezza amorevole (mettā), compassione (karuṇā), gioia compartecipe (muditā) ed equanimità (upekkhā). Le riflessioni sullo sviluppo della mente dell'illuminazione Seguono la Meditazione Satipatthana sulla mente. Durante le riflessioni si fa riferimento a un articolo di Richard Salomon relativo a dei ritrovamenti di testi buddhisti avvenuto nella zona del Gandhāra, un antico regno in quella che è oggi la regione del Pakistan settentrionale e dell'Afghanistan orientale. Tra i testi ritrovati, del primo secolo a.C., molti dei quali equivalenti a quelli del Canone Pāli, sono stati trovati anche dieci testi Mahāyāna, tra cui il Sutra della Perfezione della Saggezza. Salomon ne trae la conclusione che la differenza tra le due grandi tradizioni, quella Theravāda e quella Mahāyāna non sia sempre stata così forte: Si rimane con l'impressione che il buddhismo Mahayana nei primi secoli dell'era comune non era istituzionalmente, e forse neppure dottrinalmente, distinto da quello che successivamente si è denominato "Hinayana" o "Piccolo Veicolo". Tutte le indicazioni sembrano andare nella direzione che le pratiche più tradizionali o conservatrici coesistevano con le idee mahayana, anche all'interno delle stesse comunità monastiche.How the Gandharan Manuscripts Change Buddhist History, Richard SalomonI Questo è di grande beneficio, per trovare e rimarcare una volta di più che praticare il bodhicitta o praticare le Quattro Dimore Divine non sia null'altro che praticare quelli che sono gli insegnamenti fondamentali del Buddha, di avere una buona condotta morale e purificare il cuore e la mente! Referenze L'immagine del Buddha seduto è del primo secolo nella zona del Gandhāra e proviene dagli archivi del Metropolitan Museum of Art . Questo piccolo Buddha di bronzo è probabilmente una delle prime rappresentazioni iconiche di Shakyamuni di Gandhara. Si siede in una postura yogica tenendo la mano destra in Abhaya Mudra (un gesto di accessibilità); il suo alone insolito ha dentellature che indicano luce irradiante. La sua acconciatura, la forma delle sue vesti e il trattamento della figura riflettono i contatti stilistici con le tradizioni classiche dell'Occidente. Questo Buddha mostra affinità più strette con la scultura romana di qualsiasi altro bronzo gandharano sopravvissuto.

Professor Richard Salomon from Department of Asian Languages and Literature at the University of Washington presents an overview of his experiences in studying the oldest manuscripts of Buddhism. These manuscripts, written on birch bark scrolls in the Gāndhārī language which was once spoken in what is now Pakistan and Afghanistan, date back as far as the first century BC. Salomon has been leading their study since they first came to light in 1995 and is now preparing an anthology of translations from them intended for a broad audience. In this lecture, he explains how the discovery and interpretation of these unique documents has transformed the study of ancient Buddhism.
