The diffusion of religious thought in Buddhist Asia has been marked
by new modes of expression. Sometimes this has meant textual
translation, as highlighted in chapters about Chinese and Japanese
Buddhist texts or the analysis of manuscripts in northern Thailand.
In other cases it has been cultural translation, such as local
adaptations of jataka tales, legal concepts developed out of
Theravada Buddhist teachings, or localization of art, inscriptions,
and other material culture. Additional chapters study other types
of engagement: the encounter of East and West in British
geographical and anthropological exploration of Burma, and the
place of Brahmanism in early Buddhist thought as expressed through
the jatakas. Together these contributions recognize that beyond
being isolated by sectarian divisions, disparate Buddhist
traditions have flourished through their simultaneity.
