The impressive growth of Buddhist Studies in recent years is the result of several factors. Important collections of manuscripts have been found, and monuments unearthed, in nearly all parts of Asia where Buddhism existed; political and social events bringing East and West together have increased interest in both scholarly research and Buddhist religious practices. The spread of Buddhism outside its birthplace, Madhyadesa, first in India and soon throughout Asia, prompted its followers constantly to invent new discursive strategies and to adjust to rules to local customs and administrations.
Richard Gombrich is Academic Director of the Oxford Centre for Buddhist Studies. From 1975-2004 he was Boden Professor of Sanskrit at Oxford University and a Professional Fellow of Balliol College.

Important collections of Manuscripts have been found and monuments unearthed in nearly all parts of Asia where Buddhism existed political and social events bringing east and west together have increased interest in both scholarly research and Buddhist religious practices. The spread of Buddhism outside its birth place Madhyadesa first in India and soon throughout Asia prompted its followers constantly to invent new discursive strategies and to adjust the rules to local customs and administrations.

They also discuss hermeneutical and exegetical practices of Indian Buddhism the complex interrelation between the Brahmanical and the Buddhist milieu as well as the role of the social and political context in determining the rules of the monastic code (Vinaya). 264 pp. N° de réf. du vendeur 70698
