Abstract Important cultural roads for Buddhism and its Mathurā art were the Ganges (sarvāstivāda, mahāsāmghika, pudgalavāda) and the Godāvarī (overwhelmingly mahāsāmghika, but also mahī?āsaka). Amarāvatī’s art (second century) and also Nāgārjunakonda’s art (third century), inspired not only Anurādhapura, but southeastern Asia as a whole. The maritime route went from southeastern India to the Malay Peninsula. After a circumpeninsular navigation the route went to Funan, Bnam, in southern Cambodia and Vietnam, extending along the Gulf of Thailand to Tenasserim, the northern part of the Isthmus of Kra. The historical period of this area was the third century till 627-649, when Zhenla took over. Buddhism on this route was mahāsāmghika. Important was Avalokite?vara, Nanhai Guanyin, who may have merged with Mazu along the southern Chinese coast.
