Ari Buddhism

Ari Buddhism

Ari Buddhism is the name given to the religious practice common in Bagan, Burma prior to Anawrahta's rise and the subsequent conversion of Bagan to Theravada Buddhism.

It was a mixture of Mahayana Buddhism, Hinduism and nat worship. Some scholars are said to have claimed that it was a branch of Tantrism related to the Asarya Buddhism of Nanzhao and the subsequent Kingdom of Dali in modern-day Yunnan, China.
