Abstract

Katrin Querl is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Institute for Indology and Central Asian Studies. Before joining the University of Leipzig, she studied at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich, the Kagyu College in Dehradun and the University of Vienna. Katrin Querl's dissertation dealt with the presentation of the three wheels of Dharma in the works of the Tibetan Buddhist scholar Jigten Sumgön, the founder of the Drikung Kagyu tradition. In addition to her academic research, she collaborates with several translation projects, such as the Vikramashila Translation Project, the Rinchenpal Translation Project, and the Buddhist Translation Studies project (BTS). Her recent publications include the translation of several texts from the collected works of Jigten Sumgön and two translations for the project "84000: Translating the Words of the Buddha".
