Buddhist Decline

Buddhist Decline is a historiographical construct denoting the gradual attenuation of institutional, cultural, and political influence of Buddhism across various regions of Asia, distinguished by its focus on the interplay of socio-political upheavals, economic marginalization, and religious competition as explanatory factors for the waning prominence of Buddhist communities and practices from the late medieval period onward.
