Translations by Kate Hartmann

Kate Hartmann is Assistant Professor of Asian Religions in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at University of Wyoming. She received her B.A. in Religious Studies from the University of Virginia in 2011, M.A. in the History of Religions from the University of Chicago in 2013, and a Ph.D. from the Committee on the Study of Religion at Harvard University in 2020. She primarily works on the intellectual history of Tibetan pilgrimage, and also writes about karma, Buddhist ethics, and Buddhist approaches to addiction and recovery. Her book, Making the Invisible Real: Practices of Seeing in Tibetan Pilgrimage, explores how the Tibetan pilgrimage tradition, across 700 years and multiple genres of writing, attempted to transform pilgrims' perception so that they could overcome their ordinary perception of holy mountains and see them instead as the mandala palace of a tantric Buddha.
