The Oxford Centre for Buddhist Studies (OCBS) was founded in 2004 by Prof Richard Gombrich, Emeritus Boden Professor of Sanskrit at the University of Oxford. The centre was a recognised independent centre of the University of Oxford.[1]
The OCBS is interdisciplinary in its approach to the broad field of Buddhist Studies and is most closely associated with the Buddhist Studies Unit of the Faculty of Oriental Studies [2] in its interaction with the University. Through this unit the OCBS also maintains close links with the Faculty of Theology and the School of Anthropology.[3]
The Centre arranges a broad range of seminars and lectures each year.[4] It was responsible for the establishment of the first endowed Chair of Buddhist Studies in Oxford.[5] The Numata Professor of Buddhist Studies is a Fellow of Balliol College, and a member of the Faculty of Oriental Studies.[citation needed]
The OCBS, in partnership with Equinox, publishes the Oxford Centre for Buddhist Studies Monographs Series, which is edited by Richard Gombrich.[6]
