Treasury of the Indic Sciences
For over fifteen hundred years, the scholars representing various
Buddhist traditions were actively engaged in dialogue and debate with
representatives of various Vedist, Hindu, Jainist, and other religious and
secular traditions. In this cosmopolitan milieu, the shared arts and sciences
of all these Indic traditions were constantly refined and developed. In full
acknowledgement of this broader context, the AIBS is widening its Buddhistic
mandate with the inauguration of a second series entitled the
Treasury of the Indic Sciences. In this series, the AIBS is publishing
translations of influential classics from the diversity of Indic traditions.
