A reassessment of literary, epigraphic, and archaeological sources reveals hisorical contexts for the growth of the Buddhist sa?gha from approximately the 5th century BCE to the end of the first millennium CE. Patterns of dynamic Buddhist mobility were closely linked to transregional trade networks extending to the northwestern borderlands and joined to Central Asian silk routes by capillary routes through transit zones in the upper Indus and Tarim Basin. By examining material conditions for Buddhist establishments at nodes along these routes, this book challenges models of gradual diffusion and develops alternative explanations for successful Buddhist movement. 410 0$aDynamics in the history of religion ;$vv. 2. 606 $aBuddhist geography$zAsia 606 $aTrade routes$zAsia$xHistory 606 $aBuddhists$xTravel$zAsia 610 $aTheology 610 $aHistory of Religion 610 $aBuddhism 610 $aCommon Era 610 $aGandhara 615 0$aBuddhist geography 615 0$aTrade routes$xHistory. 615 0$aBuddhists$xTravel 676 $a294.3/7209021 700 $aNeelis$b Jason Emmanuel$0987431 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910169180103321 996 $aEarly Buddhist transmission and trade networks$92256826 997 $aUNINA
