Encyclopaedia of Buddhism, Volume II: Apa–Bhārhut

This volume forms part of the comprehensive Encyclopaedia of Buddhism project published by the Government of Ceylon to provide an internationally informed and academically rigorous reference resource on Buddhism. Covering entries from “Apa” to “Bhārhut,” it presents Buddhist concepts and historical materials across multiple languages, regions, schools, and periods. Its combination of canonical references, philological analysis, historical documentation, archaeological evidence, and specialist bibliography makes it an important research tool for understanding both the doctrinal foundations and the diverse cultural expressions of Buddhism.
