Thus I Have Seen: Visualizing Faith in Early Indian Buddhism
Rotman, Andy (, Assistant Professor, Smith College, Northampton, MA)
This book offers a new approach to understanding Buddhist lay and monastic practice by recognizing the crucial role that visual practices played in Indian Buddhism in the early centuries of the Common Era. In the genre of Indian Buddhist narratives known as avadana, most lay religious practice consists not of reading, praying, or meditating, but of visually engaging with certain kinds of objects. The key for understanding the Buddhist conceptualization about theworld and the ways it should be navigated is found, in these stories, in ways of seeing and the results of seeing.
