Buddhist Learning in South Asia

Contrary to nationalist narratives, Sri Nalanda Mahavihara was fundamentally a Buddhist monastery and institution of learning, not merely an international university. This interdisciplinary study challenges conventional perceptions by analyzing its educational curricula, pedagogy, teachers, and students, while emphasizing its role in the study and promotion of Buddhism. Through detailed historical and academic analysis, the research reveals Nalanda's structured management, academic life, and religious influence, providing a nuanced understanding of its significance in South Asian Buddhist learning.
