Colonial Buddhism

Colonial Buddhism is a historical and socioreligious phenomenon denoting the transformation and institutionalization of Buddhist practices, doctrines, and institutions under European colonial rule, distinguished by the interplay of colonial governance, missionary activity, and indigenous responses that reconfigured Buddhist identities and institutions in Asia during the 19th and 20th centuries.
