Buddhist  commentaries contrast the "central lands" where Buddhism is known and  can be practiced (originally just northern India, but now including a  much larger portion of the globe) with "border countries" where Buddhism  is unknown or cannot be practiced due to legal or practical  impediments, for instance, a lack of qualified teachers.
