Key Themes of the Seminar
India: A Knowledge Powerhouse
India has been a global hub of knowledge for centuries—from mathematics and medicine to philosophy and spirituality. Ancient centres like Nalanda shaped minds across Asia.
How the Dissemination of Indian Cultural Gene Enriched Chinese Culture
Indian thought, especially through Buddhism, deeply influenced Chinese art, language, and spirituality. This cross-cultural flow enriched Chinese civilisation with new philosophical depth.
Civilizational Dialogue Across Time
India and China share a legacy of mutual respect and exchange. Their civilizational dialogue continues to inspire harmony, shared values, and global cultural understanding.
