Desire in its widest sense is fundamental to human existence and has been the focus of much discussion in religious traditions over the centuries. Desire has been seen as a negative quality which keeps people in bondage, as generally seen in Buddhism, but desire for a greater good has also been seen as a positive force in different traditions.

The aim of this conference is explore the idea of desire and its
understanding in Christianity and Indian religions and to generate
discussion of comparative philosophy and theology across traditions.

The conference is free but lunch will be provided for a cost of �5 to
be paid in advance by 30th October. Please send cheques to OCHS, 15 Magdalen Street, Oxford, OX1 3AE.
