Abstract | A review of Nirvana and Other Buddhist Felicities:Utopias of the Pali Imaginaire,by Steven Collins. The main focus of this book is the "Pali imaginaire," which is identified as a remarkably stable and relatively consistent mental universe created by and within the sacred Pali texts of the Theravada Buddhist tradition. Setting a new standard in historiographic excellence in the study of Theravada Buddhism,it offers scholars who specialize in other premodern civilizations important methodological insights and a fascinating substantive counterpoint. |
