Details: In early medieval India, the Buddhist (monastic) system of education was well developed. This system differed from the Vedic and Brahmanical systems, though similarities can be noted. The Viharas and Mahaviharas became centers of Buddhist education, with major institutions located in Bihar and Bengal, such as Nalanda, Odantapuri, and Vikramshila. The book discusses the monastic complex, admission rules, subjects of study, and the disciplined life maintained by monks and students. It highlights the international reputation these centers gained, attracting students and scholars from India, Ceylon, Nepal, Tibet, China, and beyond. The book also covers the rise and eventual decline of these Mahaviharas due to various historical factors.
