12 Yijing s Travel to India (through Sumatra)
13 Wutai Shan Bodhgaya Kandy Palembang
14 CHINA AS A CENTRAL REALM OF BUDDHIST TEACHINGS AND PILGRIMAGE

22 China s sphere of Buddhist Interactions Korea and Japan Vietnam Liao and Xixia Tibet
23 Zanning, The Western Region (i.e., India) is the root and trunk of Buddhist doctrines. The teachings transmitted to China are its branches and leaves. The Chinese adherents have only seen the branches and leaves and have no knowledge of the root and trunk. The Chinese adherents thus fail to realize that when planted in soil, branches and leaves can take new root and grow fresh trunk. The branches and leaves that sprout from this new trunk can become so marvelous that even those efficient in grafting may fail to recognize the original roots. Due to the declining state of Buddhist doctrines in India, it was necessary to transmit the Chinese doctrines to India. Without this reverse transmission, Indians would fail to properly understand Buddhist doctrines.
24 THE FORMATION OF BUDDHIST COSMOPOLIS

26 Sri Lanka and The Tantric Connections Across the Bay of Bengal Vajrabodhi traveled to Sri Lanka and then to Java and from there arrived in China in In 741, Amoghavajra traveled to Java and Sri Lanka on a Kunlun ship, returning to Tang China in 746. The Abhayagiri Monastery in Sri Lanka emerged as a Tantric institution in the ninth century with links to Java and possibly China The Javanese monk Bianhong went to China to study under Amoghavajra s student Huiguo and the Japanese Tantric master Kukai Atisa: 1012 visited Srivijaya to study under monk Dharmakirti, returned to India (at Vikramasila) and then to Tibet in 1040.

43 Conclusions Important to understand (and take into account) the diversity of Buddhist ideas, images, and people that circulated in pre-colonial Asia The spread of Buddhisms was multi-directional and sometimes circulatory The spread of Buddhisms was dependent on pre-existing, mercantile and urban, networks (and later migratory networks) The key reasons for the spread of Buddhisms included the flexibility of practice and usage, support from mercantile communities, state patronage, and the pattern of establishing local sacred sites
