Ari Buddhism or the Ari Gaing (Burmese: အရည်းဂိုဏ်း, IPA: [əjí ɡáiɰ̃]) is the name given to the religious practice common in Burma prior to Anawrahta's rise and the subsequent conversion of Bagan to Theravada Buddhism in the eleventh century. It was introduced in the 7th century, possibly through trade contact from India or Tibet.[1]
