"Holt beautifully articulates the assimilation and transformation
of Avalokitesvara in Sri Lanka by weaving together evidence drawn
from historical and religious treatises, stone inscriptions, oral
traditions, and icons."--Journal of Asian Studies
"This is an important book for a number of reasons....Holt adds to
a small but increasing body of works that are slowly redirecting
Buddist studies from transnational to national
issues."--Theosophical History
"A well-written, systematically organized, and coherent account of
Mahayanism...An excellent overview of the history and "Global"
significance of the Avalokitesvara cult in Buddhist
culture."--History of Religions
