DESCRIPTION:Natalie Gummer | Toward a Ritual Theory of Metaphor in Buddhist
  Literature. Buddhist texts frequently appear to use metaphors to make arg
 uments. For instance\, in the Vimalakīrtinirdeśa\, Vimalakīrti employs 
 a long series of metaphors for emptiness and ephemerality. These metaphors
 —stock images\, really\, so pervasive are they in Buddhist literature—
 prove highly compelling to Vimalakīrti’s audience. Building on my recen
 t work\, in this presentation\, I explore how we might approach metaphoric
 al statements as ritual speech acts.\n\nURL: https://southasia.wisc.edu/na
