- This publication breaks new ground through its inclusion of sources hitherto not brought together in Buddhist Studies research. It examines data extracted from both Buddhist and Brahmanical materials to produce a comprehensive study of the attitudes towards tax collection among Buddhist institutions. It draws on an exceptionally broad range of source categories, spanning several monastic codes, epigraphical data as well as economic and political treatises, composed in Sanskrit, Pali and Tibetan. These propel a multi-layered investigation, spanning six centuries, bringing into sharp relief the nodes that connected the religious, political and economic aspirations of Buddhist monastic communities in ancient India.
