International travel is a significant component in the making of transnational Buddhism. This article argues that through even limited international travel and exchange with Buddhist teachers, networks of exchange can be created. Focusing on international meditation centres in Thailand, I delineate three mediums through which meditation teachers, in conjunction with their students, build institutional transnational links. Using case studies from various lineages and teachers within Thailand’s international meditation centres, this article reveals the stories and relationships that spread Thai Buddhist meditation abroad. In this context I also explore the effects of lineage and missionization within this process of travel and exchange. 2017-09-28T04:23:00Z 2017-09-28T04:23:00Z 2016-07-02 Journal 14639947 2-s2.0-84978076657 10.1080/14639947.2016.1205767 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?partnerID=HzOxMe3b&scp=84978076657&origin=inward http://cmuir.cmu.ac.th/jspui/handle/6653943832/41726
