Realms of the dharma: Buddhist art across Asia

Door

Uittreksel

"Realms of the Dharma: Buddhist Art Across Asia brings together some 220 works of Buddhist art from India, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Nepal, Tibet, China, Korea, and Japan. The artworks, all from the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offer a broad perspective on the birth of Buddhism in South Asia and its spread to other Asian countries. Showing the diversity of Buddhist schools, the authors explore the life of the historical Buddha and the importance of his key teachings, the path of the bodhisattva or Buddhist savior, Buddhist cosmology and the concepts of multiple Buddhas and heavens, the role of Buddhist goddesses, and the development of esoteric visualization practices." -- Publisher's website.
