Description

This scholarly work examines how British scholars, officials, travellers and religious seekers understood and represented Theravada Buddhism during their nineteenth century encounter with Sri Lanka. Spanning from 1796 to 1900, the book traces three major historical phases of this cultural and colonial interaction, offering nuanced analysis of the political and religious influences that shaped early British interpretations of Buddhism. The study reveals how these initial encounters fundamentally conditioned Buddhism's subsequent transmission to the Western world, providing essential context for understanding inter-religious dynamics during the British colonial period in Sri Lanka.
