DESCRIPTION:This is the 3rd and final conference of the BuddhistRoad proje
 ct\, which has been creating a new framework to understand the dynamics of
  cultural encounter and religious transfer across premodern Eastern Centra
 l Asia. This conference shares these aims\, with first a new focus on the 
 complex interactions between Buddhism and non-Buddhist traditions\, and se
 cond a deepening of the traditional focus on Buddhist doctrines. Between t
 he 6th and 14th centuries\, as Buddhism continued to spread along the so-c
 alled Silk Road and strengthen its position in many of the nodes along the
  way\, it encountered other religions\, from both east and west\, indigeno
 us traditions of interacting with superhuman beings\, and novel non-religi
 ous technologies. Buddhist travellers\, missionaries and converts had to n
 egotiate\, accept\, adapt\, or reject these influences\, and they all had 
 impacts on local forms of Buddhism to a lesser or greater extent. A key pa
 rt of the new Buddhist traditions created by these processes were altered 
 worldviews\, beliefs and creeds that were authorised by means of teaching 
 and the passing down of orthodoxy. Thus\, although doctrines and the impac
 t of non-Buddhist influences are discussed on separate days of this confer
 ence\, there is much scope for dynamic overlapping of topics and exciting 
 cross-fertilisation of dialogue throughout\n\nThe conference is held onlin
 e and on invitation only.\n\nConference programme
