******* I don't know of any stupa routes, but I can certainly clue you

in on a few

*stupid* routes.

Dear Frances,

Buddhism spread from India into central asia along major trade routes,

first to China. The Silk Road was actually four routes and one was

thru Afghanistan. These routes and the making of stupas along them

are far more ancient than the 1700's you are inquiring about. If you

want to have copies of old trade routes, you might try the public

library as a good resource or the Eastern religions departments of

universities. Below is best of what turned up on a websearch.

Good luck!

stupa routes

Friends:I have a question that I think can be answered by the members

of this group, whose knowledge never ceases to amaze me.I want to

know where I can get my hands on a map which will show stupa routes,

not just in India but also Central Asia, especially Afghanistan.

This map would show the routes as they existed hopefully in the time

period from 1700's to maybe 1900. I realize routes are ancient and

will take anything I can get, earlier or later. Maybe someone could

point me towards a book or an institution? I am in

NY.Thanks,Frances/joinAll

paths go somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights,

perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and

subside back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not

different than the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of

the nature of Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always

Present. It is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart

to be the Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the

Truth of Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It

Self. Welcome all to a.To from this list,
