Description

Explore the complex relationship between religious practice and state governance in this scholarly volume from the Routledge Critical Studies in Buddhism series. While Max Weber suggested Buddhism is primarily an otherworldly religion, this book examines how early sources show the Buddha addressing political matters. This collection investigates the historical significance of Asoka Maurya as a model for Buddhist kingship and examines how Buddhism interacted with the political structures of both classical and modern Theravada Asian states. By bringing together expert perspectives, this volume addresses the lack of comparative studies regarding the connection between Buddhist traditions and the political order. It is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in the historical and social impact of Buddhism on statecraft and leadership.

Key Features

Examines the historical connection between Buddhist teachings and political matters beyond supramundane interests.

Analyzes the role of Asoka Maurya as a foundational paradigm for later traditions of Buddhist kingship.

Provides a comparative study of how Buddhism interacted with political orders in classical and modern Theravada Asia.

Offers scholarly research that challenges traditional views of Buddhism as strictly an otherworldly religion.

Part of the Routledge Critical Studies in Buddhism series for academic and professional reference.
