The British Discovery Of Hinduism In The Eighteenth Centuryby: Marshall, P. J. (Ed)

The British Discovery Of Hinduism In The Eighteenth Century
by: Marshall, P. J. (Ed)

Softcover. Cambridge UK, Cambridge University Press, 1st, 1970, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 310 pages. One of the incidental consequences of the success of British arms in eighteenth-century India was the appearance of a number of publications which reflect the intense curiosity of contemporary Europeans about strange peoples, their manners and religions. Of the three principal religions of India, Hinduism attracted the most attention. European contact with Islam was several centuries old, while few travellers could identify Buddhism with any certainty. This book reprints some of the most significant English contributions to the early European understanding of Hinduism. Paper covers with light wear.

Thus Have I Seen: Visualizing Faith in Early Indian Buddhismby: Andy Rotman

Thus Have I Seen: Visualizing Faith in Early Indian Buddhism
by: Andy Rotman

Hardcover. NY, Oxford University Press, 1st, 2008, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 323 pages. Although Buddhism is often depicted as a religion of meditators and philosophers, some of the earliest writings extant in India offer a very different portrait of the Buddhist practitioner. In Indian Buddhist narratives from the early centuries of the Common Era, most lay religious practice consists not of reading, praying, or meditating, but of visually engaging with certain kinds of objects. These visual practices, moreover, are represented as the primary means of cultivating faith, a necessary precondition for proceeding along the Buddhist spiritual path. In Thus Have I Seen: Visualizing Faith in Early Indian Buddhism, Andy Rotman examines these visual practices and how they function as a kind of skeleton key for opening up Buddhist conceptualizations about the world and the ways it should be navigated. Clean copy.
