Аннотация:The chapter surveys the networks that linked Buddhist monasteries located in the capital area of Upper Burma and in Upper Burmese villages and secondary urban centers and discusses the ways “non-central” locations became the hubs of monastic networks since the late seventeenth century. It examines the conditions that favored the pluralization of sites of monastic learning and the impact monastic networking had on the structure of monasticism in Burma during the period in question. The developments in Upper Burmese Buddhist monastic communities are also discussed in chronological perspective and in comparison to early modern mainland Southeast Asia and Lanka. The book is an Indian edition of the volume originally published in 2015. Индийское переиздание статьи 2015 г.
