Tina Turner is featured in this year’s GRAMMY Great Performances.
Thank you to the Recording Academy for celebrating these moments, and to everyone who continues to keep the music alive.
A small but mighty Dharmamitra update: The English (explained) translation mode now features links into Christian Steinert's fantastic Tibetan dictionary! We are also working actively on offering similar functionality for Sanskrit and Chinese as well.
Rediscovery Of A Lost Manuscript:
Canto 15 of the Buddhacarita was recently re-discovered by Japanese scholar Kazunobu Matsuda and Jens-Üwe Hartmann. They identified the whole canto embedded in a Sanskrit manuscript of the Tridaṇḍamālā, which is attributed to Aśvaghoṣa.

@Rhino_Records and @parlophone Absolutely. Speaking as a historian of popular culture, this groundbreaking tour has yet to be sufficiently recognized, detailed, and explored by the powers that be. It is truly unfortunate that the achievements of an artist of Turner’s stature should be so neglected.
