Beyond Boundaries: Buddhist Heritage in the Contemporary World History, Culture, Identity, and Global DiscourseJuly 7, 2026
Buddhist heritage is far more than a collection of ancient monuments or religious traditions; it is a living legacy that continues to shape cultures, societies, and global thought.

As it spread across Asia and later to the rest of the world, it fostered cultural exchange, intellectual dialogue, and peaceful coexistence among diverse civilizations. In the contemporary era, Buddhist heritage occupies a significant place in global discourse, contributing to conversations on peace, sustainability, intercultural understanding, heritage conservation, and human well-being.
