Home›Buddhist Teachers & Monks›NationalityBrowse ByNationalityThis page groups historical figures by nationality, the country or people they are identified with. Wikipedia defines nationality as "the legal status of belonging to a particular nation," though for figures who lived before modern states existed the atlas records the closest historical equivalent. Browsing this way lets a visitor see every notable figure from one country or region gathered together.FactsNationalityConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsDirectoryCategoryWell-attestedHistorical Figures 1NationalityFilter Results20 entriesTraditionAllBuddhism (16)EraAll-304 to -229 (1)1141 to 1215 (1)1158 to 1210 (1)1222 to 1282 (1)1234 to 1289 (1)1258 to 1308 (1)1394 to 1481 (1)1520 to 1604 (1)1622 to 1693 (1)1635 to 1723 (2)1846 to 1923 (1)1854 to 1938 (1)1864 to 1933 (1)1870 to 1949 (1)1870 to 1966 (1)1883 to 1969 (1)1897 to 1963 (1)1904 to 1971 (1)1904 to 1982 (1)1912 to 1993 (1)1918 to 1992 (1)1923 to 1997 (1)1925 to 2018 (1)1926 to 2022 (1)1927 to 2023 (1)1939 to 1987 (1)220 to 280 (1)334 to 416 (1)538 to 597 (1)596 to 667 (1)613 to 681 (1)625 to 702 (1)635 to 713 (1)643 to 712 (1)711 to 782 (1)780 to 841 (1)807 to 869 (1)810 to 866 (1)864 to 949 (1)938 to 1018 (1)942 to 1017 (1)Place of ActivityAllCambodia (1)Champa (1)Chang'an (1)China (2)Colombo (1)Daegu (1)Dharamshala (1)England (2)France (1)Guangdong (1)Japan (1)Jiangxi (1)Kyoto (1)Laos (1)Mongolia (2)Myanmar (2)Oxford (1)Saint Petersburg (1)San Francisco (2)Shaanxi (1)Shanghai (1)South Korea (1)Sri Lanka (1)Suizhou (1)Suzhou (1)Taiwan (2)Thailand (3)Tibet (1)Ubon Ratchathani (1)Udon Thani (1)United States (1)Varanasi (1)Vietnam (1)Yangon (1)GenderAllFemale (4)Male (17)HistoricityAllHistorically attested (19)Historicity debated (1)Veneration StatusAllHistorically Significant but Not Venerated (2)Officially Recognized or Venerated (16)Popularly or Locally Venerated (1)Manner Of DeathAllDied of natural causes (10)Disputed (2)Martyred (1)Member OfAllFo Guang Shan (1)Revered InAllBuddhism (20)Area (sq km)All36,197 (1)513,120 (1)End YearAll907 (1)1400 (1)1912 (1)1917 (1)Income GroupAllUpper-Middle (1)Independence or Founding YearAll1768 (1)1912 (1)LandlockedAllNo (2)PopulationAll23,299,132 (1)65,975,198 (1)Population at PeakAll161,000,000 (1)Size at Peak in Square KilometresAll22,800,000 (1)Start YearAll618 (1)1225 (1)1238 (1)1644 (1)1721 (1)1776 (1)1801 (1)1867 (1)1947 (1)1948 (3)1949 (2)1953 (1)1976 (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 20CambodiaNationality1 entryCanadaNationality1 entryChinaNationality11 entriesGermanyNationality1 entryIndiaNationality1 entryJapanNationality8 entriesMongoliaNationality1 entryMyanmarNationality2 entriesThe Qing DynastyNationality1 entryRussian EmpireNationality1 entrySouth KoreaNationality4 entriesSri LankaNationality1 entryTaiwanNationality1 entryThe Tang DynastyNationality2 entriesThailandNationality3 entriesThailandNationality1 entryTran dynastyNationality1 entryUnited KingdomNationality2 entriesUnited StatesNationality2 entriesVietnamNationality4 entriesConnectionsAssociated WithAsia, Continents Well-attested This source names Asia directly: "forest monks of Theravada Southeast Asia to the Seon and Pure Land masters of Korea and China and the hierarchs and treasure revealers of Tibet."Source Divinity Atlas Directory Prose, First Edition Category Descriptionstier 1China, Countries Well-attested This source names China directly: "and Pure Land masters of Korea and China and the hierarchs and treasure revealers of Tibet."Source Divinity Atlas Directory Prose, First Edition Category Descriptionstier 1Pure Land, Denominations Well-attested This source names Pure Land directly: "Southeast Asia to the Seon and Pure Land masters of Korea and China and the hierarchs and treasure revealers of Tibet."Source Divinity Atlas Directory Prose, First Edition Category Descriptionstier 1Theravada, Denominations Well-attested This source names Theravada directly: "and history, from the forest monks of Theravada Southeast Asia to the Seon and Pure Land masters of Korea and China and the hierarchs and treasure revealers of Tibet."Source Divinity Atlas Directory Prose, First Edition Category Descriptionstier 1Sources1.
