About the Book:
This book explores the significant role played by the Indian script, specifically a variant of Brahmi known as Siddham, in the development of Far-Eastern Buddhism. Introduced into China in the 18th century A.D., this script became instrumental in the transmission and preservation of Buddhist texts across East Asia. The book examines the impact of Siddham on the spread of Buddhist teachings and its importance in linguistic and cultural exchanges between India and China. Through detailed analysis, it offers valuable insights into the intersection of language, script, and religious transmission.
