Esoteric Buddhism in Mediaeval Maritime Asia: Networks of Masters, Texts, Icons,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This volume advocates a transregional, and maritimefocused, approach to studying the genesis, development and circulation of Esoteric (or Tantric) Buddhism across Maritime Asia from the seventh to the thirteenth centuries ce. The book lays emphasis on the mobile networks of human agents (Masters), textual sources (Texts) and images (Icons) through which Esoteric Buddhist traditions spread.Capitalising on recent research and making use of both disciplinary and areafocused perspectives, this book highlights the role played by Esoteric Buddhist maritime networks in shaping intraAsian connectivity. In doing so, it reveals the limits of a historiography that is premised on landbased transmission of Buddhism from a South Asian homeland, and advances an alternative historical narrative that overturns the popular perception regarding Southeast Asia as a periphery that passively received overseas influences. Thus, a strong point is made for the appreciation of the region as both a crossroads and rightful terminus of Buddhist cults, and for the reevaluation of the creative and transformative force of Southeast Asian agents in the transmission of Esoteric Buddhism across mediaeval Asia.
