Buddhist Art

Sacred artwork depicting the Buddha, bodhisattvas, named Buddhist teachers and Buddhist cosmology, drawn from Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana traditions across South, East and Southeast Asia, including Tibetan thangkas, Japanese Zen and Pure Land imagery, Sri Lankan statuary and Nichiren mandalas. Belongs here: a work whose subject is the Buddha, a bodhisattva such as Avalokiteshvara or Maitreya, a named Buddhist teacher, or Buddhist doctrine rendered as image. Does not belong here: Hindu deity imagery, grouped under Hindu Art, even where a figure shares a name across both traditions.
