Throughout its history, Buddhism has developed a sophisticated
philosophy of materiality, addressing the status of material
objects and their role in the quest for salvation. This is an
innovative book that addresses the ways in which Buddhism has
conceived of, and dealt with, material objects ranging from the
environment to everyday tools, ritual implements, icons, and sacred
texts. Contrary to received assumptions, careful reading of
original sources and study of ritual practices show that in
Buddhism the realm of materiality is not simply an obstacle for
spiritual pursuits but also a space for interplay in which human
beings can give shape and expression to their deepest religious and
spiritual ideas.
