DESCRIPTION:The aim of this\, the 2nd conference of the BuddhistRoad proje
 ct\, is to investigate different aspects of material culture and transfer 
 in and between the Central Asian Buddhist communities during the 6–14th 
 centuries\, as well as dealing with issues relating to ritual and religiou
 s practices. Material transfer includes the exchange of iconographical mod
 els and religious imagery\, book culture\, cave sanctuaries\, etc. Ritual 
 practices as conceived here is meant to focus on the transmission\, formul
 ation and re-formulation of salient forms of ritual performances\, includi
 ng meditation and visualisation. Given that rituals generally take place i
 n prearranged\, ritual spaces\, it is in the nature of things that a certa
 in overlapping between material culture and ritual practices has taken pla
 ce in Central Asian Buddhism\, something that is also likely to be borne o
 ut in a number of the presentations.\n\nIt is hoped that a more inclusive 
 approach afforded by the two overarching topics of the conference will ass
 ist us in the formulation of new methods of research.
