For most of its roughly 2,500 years, Buddhism has been confined to various
parts of Asia. However, at least two phenomena have introduced the tradition
to a great many people outside Asia. First, of course, the interaction
in the past half millennia between European scholars, clerics, merchants,
soldiers, and colonizers on the one hand and the inhabitants of predominantly
Buddhist (or Buddhist-influenced) regions on the other hand have
brought Buddhism into the imaginations of many people in the West. While
such forays into the Orient produced highly distorted images of the East that
still bedevil us today (Said 1978; Paper, Paper and Lai 2005), these several
centuries of interaction did lay the groundwork for the more favourable contemporary
reception of Buddhism in the West.
