La danza nel buddhismo antico
Abstract
The article analyses the status of dance in the Pāli Canon. At a first sight, it seems that dancing, watching dancers’ performances and their organization were not approved by the Buddha; but the comparison between some canonical Pāli passages shows that this apparently negative evaluation was motivated by the expectations of the Indian people towards ascetics, rather than an absolute refusal of this art on its own.Downloads
