This book examines culture, religion and polity in the context of Buddhism. It offers a restorative interpretation of Buddhist myths in contrast to the perspective involving deconstruction. It also deals with oral traditions and stories, the religious pantheon, philosophy, emotions, reform movements, identity and culture, and issues of modernity.
