Gilgit, Chilas, Chitral, Baltistan, Ladakh, Zanskar and other frontier areas have been important mileposts on the famous Silk Route. Buddhist savants from India contributed to the spread of Buddhism in Central Asia and East Asia. One of the eminent scholars was Kumarajiva (344-413 AD) who broke political, geographical, cultural and linguistic barriers for propagation of Buddhism. Hieun Tsiang mentions four important centres of Buddhism in Central Asia - Shan-shan (Kroraina), Khotan, Kucha and Turfan. Kashmir played an important role in introducing Buddhism to Khotan, which in turn played a key role in the transmission of Buddhism to China. Several important places on the Silk Route system such as Kucha, Balkh, Bamiyan, Khotan, Kashgar etc. developed into important centres of Buddhism when parts of Central Asia and north-western India were integrated into a single kingdom under the Kushans.)</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Каракорумско-Гималайский регион является той колыбелью, откуда древняя индийская культура, включая буддизм, распространилась по разным направлениям Центральной, Восточной и Юго-Восточной Азии. Гильгит, Чилас, Читрал, Балтистан, Ладакх, Занскар и другие приграничные районы были важными опорными пунктами на знаменитом Шелковом пути. Буддийские ученые из Индии способствовали распространению буддизма в Центральной и Восточной Азии. Одним из видных ученых был Кумараджива (344-413), который разрушил политические, географические, культурные и языковые барьеры для распространения буддизма. Сюаньцзян упоминает четыре важных центра буддизма в Центральной Азии - Шан-шань (Крорайна - Лоулань), Хотан, Кучу и Турфан. Кашмир сыграл важную роль в распространении буддизма в Хотане, который, в свою очередь, сыграл ключевую роль в передаче буддизма в Китай. Несколько важных мест в системе Шелкового пути, такие как Куча, Балх, Бамиан, Хотан, Кашгар и др., превратились в важные центры буддизма, когда части Центральной Азии и северо-западной Индии были объединены в единое государство под Кушанами.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Karakoram-Himalayas</kwd><kwd>Gilgit</kwd><kwd>Chilas</kwd><kwd>Chitral</kwd><kwd>Baltistan</kwd><kwd>Zanskar</kwd><kwd>Ladakh</kwd><kwd>Kashmir</kwd><kwd>Kucha</kwd><kwd>Kashgar</kwd><kwd>Khotan</kwd><kwd>Buddhism</kwd><kwd>Kumarajiva</kwd><kwd>Hiuen Tsianmg</kwd><kwd>Lotus Sutra</kwd><kwd>Kanishka</kwd><kwd>Palola Sahis)</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Каракорумско-Гималайский регион</kwd><kwd>Гильгит</kwd><kwd>Чилас</kwd><kwd>Читрал</kwd><kwd>Балтистан</kwd><kwd>Занскар</kwd><kwd>Кашмир</kwd><kwd>Куча</kwd><kwd>Кашгар</kwd><kwd>Хотан</kwd><kwd>буддизм</kwd><kwd>Кумараджива</kwd><kwd>Сюаньцзян</kwd><kwd>Лотосовая сутра</kwd><kwd>Канишка</kwd><kwd>Палола сахис</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Bailey, H.W.
