No primary scriptures are catalogued for this entry yet. If you know of scriptural references we have missed, please contribute them.

This entry honours the self-representation of Buddhist tradition. India's sacred landscape includes hundreds of traditions beyond the Brahminical-Vedic canon — Jain, Buddhist, Sikh, Sufi Muslim, Zoroastrian, tribal Gondi/Bhil/Khasi, and many more. Each has its own cosmology, theology, ethical system, and sacred geography. Each deserves first-person recognition, not assimilation. - Location: Nalanda, Nalanda, Bihar (25.1352°N, 85.4439°E) - Tradition: Buddhist / Mahayana
