| dc.description.abstract | In the region of Bongabhumi, Buddhism has an extensive tradition of elegance, history, and heritage from over 2,600 years ago. This chapter centers on the Buddha’s footprint in the soil of ancient Bongabhumi, revealing a connection between the Buddha and the people of ancient Bengal from its inception. Additionally, it focuses on two historical Buddhist pilgrimage sites: Chakrashala Phratara Cetiya and Ramu Rangkut Banasram Bouddho Bihar of Bangladesh. To clarify the historical legend of Buddhism in the region of Bongabhumi, this chapter also discusses Buddhist transmissions in the Bengal Delta up to the modern period, as well as illustrates how Buddhist communities and their contemporary practices express lived Buddhism in Bongabhumi. | |
