The ERC-funded research project BuddhistRoad aims to create a new
framework to enable understanding of the complexities in the
dynamics of cultural encounter and religious transfer in pre-modern
Eastern Central Asia. Buddhism was one major factor in this
exchange: for the first time the multi-layered relationships
between the trans-regional Buddhist traditions (Chinese, Indian,
Tibetan) and those based on local Buddhist cultures (Khotanese,
Uyghur, Tangut) will be explored in a systematic way. The second
volume Buddhism in Central Asia II-Practice and Rituals, Visual and
Materials Transfer based on the mid-project conference held on
September 16th-18th, 2019, at CERES, Ruhr-Universitat Bochum
(Germany) focuses on two of the six thematic topics addressed by
the project, namely on "practices and rituals", exploring material
culture in religious context such as mandalas and talismans, as
well as "visual and material transfer", including shared
iconographies and the spread of 'Khotanese' themes.
