The Buddha as a literary character

This collection results from a symposium on “Literary Buddhas Across Ages and Borders” held at the University of Cambridge in July 2022. This, in turn, was part of a project on “Com-parative Buddhology in Indian Narrative Literature” funded by the UK’s Arts and Humanities Research Council (2020-2023, AH/T009411/1), and we would like to express our gratitude to the funder for supporting the event and this publication.
