Wayne Bass is a PhD candidate in Buddhist Studies in the Asian Languages and Cultures Department. His dissertation, currently underway, attempts to bring issues of sociological and anthropological import into the modern academic conversation on meditation in Indian Buddhism. His work also involves a shift away from sutra and commentarial literature on meditation to its treatment in vinaya (disciplinary) literature. Amid his studies, he also remains a diehard Bruins fan!
