Jonathan S. Walters

This essay represents an attempt at making room for global thought in the historical study of Buddhist materials. It articulates some limitations in what scholars thought they knew about Buddhist global history, develops new global perspectives on that knowledge, and defines new vocabularies for discussing Buddhist history on a global scale. Includes bibliographical references.

Jonathan S. Walters is an associate professor of religion and Asian studies at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington. He is the author of The History of Kelaniya and of numerous articles on Sri Lankan and Buddhist history.
