Kalzang Dorjee Bhutia: The Chile and the Bears Are My Uncles
Kalzang Dorjee Bhutia: The Chile and the Bears Are My Uncles: Buddhist Interspecies Relations in and Beyond West Sikkim
February 10, 2022
Buddhism and Posthumanism series
The red, round chiles known as Akubari in the Bhutia language and Dalle khorsani in Nepali in the eastern Himalayas have recently become popular commodities across India. In places where it is grown in Buddhist communities in west Sikkim, Akubari is part of the multispecies networks of relations, as evidenced by its name, which translates as “Uncle Blazing.” Akubari is a grown from the land and seen as a family member that provides nourishment, sustenance, healing, and flavour for human and nonhuman co-residents in the region. What happens when these kin become commercially produced and commodified? How does this change the relations forged and supported by kin? Dorjee Bhutia draws on ethnographic research from west Sikkim, local medical and folklore traditions, textual research into Buddhist and indigenous ritual texts and colonial sources, and market research to consider these questions.
Kalzang Dorjee Bhutia is a Visiting Scholar in the Asian Studies Program at the University of California Riverside.
This event is co-sponsored by the Religion in the Public Sphere initiative of the Department for the Study of Religion in the University of Toronto. The series is organized by Rory Lindsay, Assistant Professor, and Frances Garrett, Associate Professor of Buddhist Studies in the Department for the Study of Religion at the University of Toronto.

Could you please tell me that can I get the admission in your university or not?
Yes, there are plenty of animals who do not eat other animals. But for me, it's not just about eating animals, using animals, taking that which is not ours to take. It's also about the torture and anguish and suffering inflicted on them during their too brief and tormented lives. And of course, animals don't decide to eat or not eat animals. Humans are cursed/blessed with a neocortex, an executive brain, that prompts us toward (at our best) compassion for those more vulnerable than we are. At worst, we create many varieties of justification and excuses to 'Otherize" and hedonistically do what we want, when we want, with whom we want. We steal their babies, their milk, their feathers and fur. We lock them in small cages and many are abused and neglected and -- it's so horrible that we cannot bear to see the images or speak honestly about what happens to them. May we do better. May we do better. May our species do better.

Familiarity of religious iconography is surely taken for granted among laity of all regional backgrounds. The messages intrinsic in visual art largely functions as an alternative mode of communication that's especially useful to the illiterate, much like how a film or illustration provides another dimension of awareness to the mythos presented in a written work. Commentary is a very rich tradition in the respective histories of Western Christianity and Eastern Buddhism, and the application of these rhetorical forms in a culturally familiar way serves as a potential gateway to better understand each other.
