By Dr. Lewis R. Lancaster
The Buddhist Maritime Silk Road by Dr. Lancaster is based on his series of lectures for the Department of Religious Studies at the University of the West. In his lectures, Dr. Lancaster provides an overview of the search for models that explain how Buddhism spread from the Ganges Basin and came to be established in the Southeast region of Eurasia. These areas form a vast circle, which the professor refers to as the Great Circle of Buddhism. The research covers a total of seven countries, eight tangible cultural heritages, and over 100 Buddhist archeological sites, presenting an atlas of maritime Buddhism including both Theravada and Mahayana traditions.
