Magic and Menace of the Naga Realm: An Interview with Dr. Amelia Hall
Dr. Amelia Hall, core associate professor of Buddhist Studies at Naropa University, is delving into the vivid world where ecology, ritual, and imagination meet. Her recent research focuses on klu—serpentine beings of Himalayan cosmology, often known as nagas—to explore how traditional Tibetan understandings of unseen beings and sacred landscapes can reshape contemporary ecological thinking. In a recent interview with Buddhistdoor Global, Hall reflected on her research, the power of myth in ecological consciousness, and the possibilities of interspecies reciprocity as a guide for the Anthropocene.
