Buddhist Maritime Silk Road Exhibition & Other

Post by Aemilius »

The spread of Buddhism by maritime routes from the Ganges Basin in India to East and Inner Asia, in the early centuries of the Common Era (CE), is a crucial element in the history of the religion. Seaports and connecting sites located on rivers played a major role in the expansion of Buddhism beyond the shores of India. The focus of this exhibition is the way Buddhism traveled these maritime routes in networks that flowed from India to China.
