Scholars who have contributed to this volume have attempted to place dāna in the context of contemporary religious traditions in relation to various sects and traditions of Buddhism, re-examining established hypotheses and challenging extreme opinions that are prone to exaggeration. It elucidates evolution, transition, and maturity of the process of dāna in different phases of Buddhism. The Buddha introduced the practice of dāna to sustain his monastic community. Subsequently its character transformed with the division of Buddhism into different sects and traditions. Some of the papers specifically deal with ideological differences and changes in nature of Reciprocity, patronage, and possessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789390737734\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.3 x 6.2 x 0.7 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Primus Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50135332716848,"sku":"DRG.ePrimus_9789390737734","price":338.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/51SMZMCrN5S.jpg?v=1757604581","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/dana-reciprocity-and-patronage-in-buddhism-1","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
