Abstract | Abstract
This paper uses as an example an alms-offering ceremony that took place on October 5, 2010 to illustrate crosstradition exchanges between Asian Buddhists of different geographic locations. This ceremony had been intended to give alms to all of the bhikkhunīs in Sri Lanka and was thus itself noteworthy. However, the attention of this paper is on the two main players behind this ceremony. One is a Sri Lankan monk who has been a long term Theravāda missionary in Mahāyāna Taiwan, and the other is a Taiwanese nunnery who has not limited its works to Taiwan. This paper wishes to shed light on cross-tradition exchange among Asian Buddhists.
