This richly illustrated presentation shares 55 years of Buddhist sacred art conservation in museums, monasteries, and their communities.
Vedism and Buddhism
This talk will discuss various concepts, words and rituals in the Pali and Buddhist Sanskrit literature and will attempt to show the indirect influence of Vedic ritualistic tradition on Buddhism. This influence can be termed as Vedism that can be observed in respect of other non-Vedic religious traditions as well.
