Meir Shahar at UC Berkeley
Professor Shahar will be lecturing at Cal tomorrow about his research on Nezha. I picked him up from SFO on Saturday and took him up to Tilden Park on Sunday. It was really good to visit with him as it's been over half a decade since we've seen each other face-to-face. He was very generous with his cover blurb for my book and we've remained friends over the years.
He's still working on research regarding the Southern Shaolin Temple as he's got the research backing from the Chiang Ching-Kuo Fellowship, but that's been on hold with his current research on Nezha. He was doing really well after spending last year in Beijing on sabbatical. He said he hadn't really kept up with Songshan Shaolin Temple lately, but is looking forward to working on the Southern Shaolin research.
