Inhaltsangabe

At the merger of hugely influential artistic and religious traditions, this beautiful celebration of Buddha brings together centuries of sculpture and painting from the East. The vast selection of photographs, ranging from the Indian subcontinent, to China, Tibet, Japan, and Indonesia, features richly gilded and jeweled bronzes, elaborate and colorful paintings, intricately embroidered silk hangings, and statuesque rock carvings. The artwork is accompanied by essays that explore the background of each region and provide additional information on topics such as the cave complexes of China, where more than a thousand rock carvings pay homage to Buddha.
