Buddhist and Islamic Orders in Southern Asia - Comparative Perspectives

Scholars of Islamic and Buddhist studies have rarely engaged with each other to share investigative approaches and methods of interpretation. This volume was conceived to open up new spaces of creative interaction between scholars in both fields to increase our understanding of the circulation and localization of religious texts, institutional models, ritual practices, and literary specialists.
