As its teachings spread from the Indian subcontinent in all
directions across Asia, Buddhism influenced every culture it
touched--from Afghanistan to Korea, from Mongolia to Java. Buddhist
art is a radiant reflection of the encounter of the Buddha's
teachings with the diverse civilizations that came under their
sway. It is also an intriguing visual record of the evolution of
Buddhist practice and philosophy over a period of more than two
millennia.
More than two hundred photographs provide the visual context for
this tour of the world of Buddhist art. Included in the rich
variety of forms are architecture and monumental art, statuary,
paintings, calligraphy, fresco, brushwork, and textile arts. Denise
Leidy's guide is the perfect introductory text for all those
intrigued by this splendid aesthetic tradition. It also an
essential resource for all who seek to understand Buddhist art as
teaching.
