Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating and often overlooked history of Buddhism's potential influence on the Americas. The author meticulously explores the intriguing Chinese account of a Buddhist monk's journey to a distant Eastern land, identified as "Fu-sang," in the fifth century CE. The narrative chronicles the monk's experiences in a land bearing striking similarities to pre-Columbian Mexico. The book presents a compelling argument, based on meticulous analysis of Chinese historical texts, that Buddhism may have reached the Americas centuries before the arrival of Europeans. Through detailed comparisons of cultural practices, religious beliefs, and geographical descriptions, the author presents a compelling case for the existence of a long-forgotten connection between Asia and the Americas. This captivating work challenges conventional historical narratives and offers a fresh perspective on the origins of civilization in the Americas, raising thought-provoking questions about the extent of early global connections and the enduring impact of cultural exchange. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Codice articolo 9781330655023_0
