Buddhist pilgrimage
sites in India | |

Buddhist site visit; Sanci, Ajanta and
beyond...
Our first session will have a short presentation
by Ian McCrabb on a recent
visit to Buddhist archeological sites in India including Sanci
and Ajanta. This is anticipated to be a
departure point for a conversation on the wider
issues of Buddhist pilgrimage sites; how we
encounter these sites as:
- westerners
- academics
- Buddhists
Your experiences...
Contribute your own experiences to the
discussion:
- your own accounts of site
visits
- your photos (bring along on
flash disk)
