Esoteric Buddhism in Mediaeval Maritime Asia: Networks of Masters, Texts, Icons
By Andrea Acri
Rating: 0 out of 5 stars
()
About this ebook
This volume advocates a trans-regional, and maritime-focused, approach to studying the genesis, development and circulation of Esoteric (or Tantric) Buddhism across Maritime Asia from the seventh to the thirteenth centuries AD. The book lays emphasis on the mobile networks of human agents ('Masters'), textual sources ('Texts') and images ('Icons') through which Esoteric Buddhist traditions spread.
