Welcome Address
Prof. Dr. Klaus-Dieter Mathes
University of Vienna
Chair, Planning Committee of the 17th IABS Congress
Dear friends and colleagues,
It is a great honour for the Department of South Asian, Tibetan and Buddhist Studies at
the University of Vienna to host the 17th Congress of the International Association of
Buddhist Studies (IABS) in Vienna, Austria, from Aug. 18 to 23, 2014.
The two most recent IABS congresses were held in Atlanta and Taiwan, and it is now
again Europe’s turn. I became very excited three years ago when I learned on a morning
shuttle bus to Dharma Drum Mountain (Taiwan) that the University of Vienna was being
seriously considered to host the next IABS event. It has always been at the top of my agenda to strengthen the academic study of Buddhism as an independent discipline beyond the
traditional subjects of Indology, Tibetology and Sinology. Since my appointment to Vienna
in March 2010, I have had the opportunity to continue what Erich Frauwallner and Ernst
Steinkellner began. And what could be more effective in pursuing this goal than bringing
the international congress of this learned society dedicated to promoting and supporting
scholarship in Buddhist Studies to Vienna? I sincerely thank the President and Board of
the IABS for having entrusted me with this responsibility.
Buddhist Studies looks back on a long history in Vienna. Its philological basis was laid in
the year 1845 when Anton Boller started to teach Sanskrit at our University. He was followed by Friedrich Müller, Georg Bühler, Leopold von Schroeder and Bernhard Geiger.
Their expertise and accomplishments turned Vienna into one of the main centers for Indianstudies. As a further development, Erich Frauwallner and his successor Ernst Steinkellner
were able to firmly establish Buddhist Studies here, becoming leading international experts in Buddhist epistemology and logic. Some of their students not only continued thistradition, but also acquired international renown in other areas of Buddhist philosophy.

Welcome Address

Vienna has thus established itself as a center for Buddhist studies that continues to attractscholars from all over the world. In addition to two permanent professors (Helmut Tauscher
and myself) plus two assistant professors (Alexander Schiller and Michael Torsten Much),
we have a Numata Chair for visiting professors. The latter now allows us, after recent
negotiations, to invite a Buddhist scholar every term (instead of every other term, as inpast years). Moreover, several scholars with a PhD in Tibetology are employed in our
department. We also have two regular professors who specialize in classical South AsianStudies (Karin Preisendanz and Chlodwig Werba) and a professor for modern South AsianStudies (Martin Gaenszle). I was additionally able to invite Tibetan Khenpos the last eightsemesters to teach Dharma language in Tibetan and to assist both students and scholars
in translating difficult text passages. Next to classical and modern Tibetan, Sanskrit has,of course, a firm place in our Tibetan and Buddhist Studies program. Buddhist Studies
in Vienna also profits considerably from scholars in the field of Indian Buddhist Studies
at the Institute for the Cultural and Intellectual History of Asia under the umbrella of
the Austrian Academy of Sciences (Ritsu Akahane, Vincent Eltschinger, Pascale Hugon,
Horst Lasic, Anne MacDonald, Cristina Pecchia, and Toshikazu Watanabe). Vienna is thus
the only place of academic study in the world that unites the expertise of top international
scholars in the fields of epistemology, logic, Madhyamaka, Yogācāra, Mahāmudrā, rDzogs
chen, and Tantra.
The Viennese scholars of Buddhist studies at both the Academy and the University feelvery honoured that so many of you have accepted our invitation. As these lines are being
written, there are already more than 400 active participants in 35 panels and 25 sections.
I would like to thank all of you for attending in such great number, and wish our esteemedfriends and colleagues a successful conference and a pleasant stay in Vienna.
Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to the members of the Planning Committee ofthe 17th IABS Congress, who tirelessly assisted me the last two years. Particular mention
should be made of my assistant Dr. Alexander Schiller, who shouldered the main work of
putting this program together.
Klaus-Dieter Mathes
