The Sanchi stupa, a half dome-shaped reliquary surrounded by a circumambulatory path, is a pilgrimage site for Buddhists and tourist attraction for persons of all faiths.

A Buddhist Studies Starter Pack is up and running! Envisioned as primarily academic, itโ€™s also a place for librarians, publishers, and professional societies that work with Buddhist Studies to connect.

Itโ€™s a work in progressโ€”add and share widely.
