Title: Relics, Ritual, and Representation in Buddhism Author: Trainor, Kevin Publisher: Cambridge University Press; Publication Date: 1997 Hardcover; ISBN: 9780521582803 Volumes: 1; Pages: 237 List Price in Cloth: $95.00 Our price: $95.00 (Add to Cart button is at the bottom of this page) Western scholarship has largely ignored the practice of venerating the physical remains of the Buddha, a practice that has been a central focus of both monastic and lay Buddhists for more than two millennia. This study draws on textual and archaeological evidence from India and Sri Lanka to examine the place of relic veneration in the history of South Asian Buddhism. It contributes to current work on the history of Western Buddhology, to the discipline of religious studies, and to the history of Indian and Sri Lankan Buddhism.ContentsAcknowledgments; List of abbreviations1.
