Abstract

The Return of the Buddha-Himanshu Prabha Ray 2014-08-07 The Return of the Buddha traces the development of Buddhist archaeology in colonial India, examines its impact on the reconstruction of India’s Buddhist past, and the making of a public and academic discourse around these archaeological discoveries. The book discusses the role of the state and modern Buddhist institutions in the reconstitution of national heritage through promulgation of laws for the protection of Buddhist monuments, acquiring of land around the sites, restoration of edifices, and organization of the display and dissemination of relics. It also highlights the engagement of prominent Indian figures, such as Nehru, Gandhi, Ambedkar, and Tagore, with Buddhist themes in their writings. Stressing upon the lasting legacy of Buddhism in independent India, the author explores the use of Buddhist symbols and imagery in nation-building and the making of the constitution, as also the recent efforts to resurrect Buddhist centers of learning such as Nalanda. With rich archival sources, the book will immensely interest scholars, researchers and students of modern Indian history, culture, archaeology, Buddhist studies, and heritage management.

佛的回归:青州的发现

《佛的归来》追溯了殖民时期印度佛教考古学的发展，考察了它对重建印度佛教历史的影响，以及围绕这些考古发现展开的公共和学术讨论。这本书讨论了国家和现代佛教机构通过颁布保护佛教古迹的法律，获得遗址周围的土地，修复建筑物，组织文物的展示和传播，在重建国家遗产方面的作用。它还强调了印度著名人物的参与，如尼赫鲁、甘地、安贝德卡尔和泰戈尔，他们的作品中都有佛教主题。强调佛教在独立印度的持久遗产，作者探讨了佛教符号和图像在国家建设和宪法制定中的使用，以及最近为复兴那烂陀等佛教学习中心所做的努力。丰富的档案资源，这本书将极大地兴趣学者，研究人员和现代印度历史，文化，考古，佛教研究和遗产管理的学生。
