Lewis Rosser Lancaster's vision led to the establishment of the
Group in Buddhist Studies at the University of California,
Berkeley, in 1972. The Group continues today as one of the most
important programs for the academic study of Buddhism. Lancaster's
dissertation on the Chinese translations of the 8,000 Line
Perfection of Wisdom sutra informed the program with a strong
philological emphasis, and a focus on the detailed understanding
the historical development of a text and the comparative study of
different versions. His scholarly projects have included the
creation of The Korean Buddhist Canon: A Descriptive Catalogue,
which continues to serve as an important tool for research into the
Buddhist canon. This work also relates to the contributions he made
to Buddhist studies by bringing greater scholarly attention to
Korean Buddhism. Much of his recent efforts have been devoted to
integrating the power of data search procedures into the study of
the history of the canon. These efforts include a challenge to
traditional views of texts as self-contained autonomous entities
with a clear and identifiable history. Instead texts emerge as
events, that is, as nodes in networks, ones that have complex
interconnections with one another.
