A Survey of Buddhist Temple and Monastries

A history of Buddhist Architecture is a task for the future; may we some day have the pleasure of welcoming a systematic treatise upon the subject. Nothing guarantees us that in its beginnings the Architecture shall be found on a level with the doctrine, or that it shall follow a parallel course, or again that it shall develop with a proportional rapidity. On the contrary, we see already that at Sanchi and Barhut, after centuries of active speculation, it makes its appeal primarily to a community characterized by naive and simple piety. In the case of Christianity how many centuries of dogmatic strife precede the age of the primitives! Nevertheless the reader who turns from the essays on Barhut and Sanchi to those dealing with the Great miracle and with Boro-Budur—much clearer would be his impression, if he embraced in his view the mediaeval and modern art of China, Japan, and Tibet—cannot fail to note the metaphysical contemplation which has grown upon the decay of the older popular piety. The foundation of Buddhism in our sub-continent is an histroic phenomenon. Based on truth, purity of life, non-possession and moral character of the highest degree, it began to spread in several regions of India, Nepal, Ceylon and South-East Asia. The monks and nuns who preached the religious principles of Buddha with their abodes in monasteries showed the way to the people towards a pure domestic life and moral dealings of humanity. As a result of their efforts, several religious centres came into existence in India and other countries as mentioned in this text. The theme deals with the foundation and spread of Buddhism, from Bodh-Gaya to china to other part of the world, art and architecture used in monasteries and last but not the least, the life of monks and nuns in monasteries.

It is the world’s oldest extant religion, and has approximately a billion adherents, of whom about one billion live in India and Nepal, placing it as the world’s third largest religion after Christianity and Islam. Hinduism has many epics recorded in religious books consisting theology, philosophy and mythology, providing spiritual insights and guidance on the practice of dharma (religious living).

Hinduism, a religious tradition of Indian origin, comprising the beliefs and practices of Hindus. The word Hindu is derived from the river Sindhu, or Indus. Hindu was primarily a geographical term that referred to India or to a region of India (near the Sindhu) as long ago as the 6th century B.C. Hinduism does not attach the same religious significance to historical events that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam do. Some have compared Hinduism’s indifference to the history of a religious idea or practice to a scientist’s indifference to the history of science. What is of value to both is the idea or practice as such. The history of Hinduism thus becomes a history of its quest to incorporate the various developments it has encountered or generated, rather than a history of conquest of or triumph over these historical developments. This difficulty arises from Hinduism’s universal worldview and its willingness to accept and celebrate diverse philosophies, deities, symbols, and practices. A religion that emphasizes similarities and shared characteristics rather than differences has a difficult time setting itself apart—unless this very quality is considered its defining feature.
