Imagination and Narrative: Lexical and Cultural Translation in Buddhist Asia singapore The third and largest collectionEdited by Peter Skilling and Justin Thomas McDaniel The essays in this volume highlight the movement of Buddhist ideas and practices across Asia and how the encounter of far flung cultures and personalities encouraged adaptation and transformation.
