Relics, Ritual, and Representation in Buddhism

- Rematerializing the Sri Lankan Theravada Tradition

Bag om Relics, Ritual, and Representation in Buddhism

This study draws on textual and archaeological evidence to examine the place of relic veneration in the history of South Asian Buddhism. By analysing the abstract ideas, emotional orientations, and ritualized behaviours centred on the Buddha's material remains, the author contributes to the 'rematerializing' of Buddhism presently under way among Western scholars.
