| Abstract
|
:
|
"All living beings are Buddhas and have wisdom and virtue within them. (Buddha) Buddha ranks among the most often depicted holy figures of the world perhaps appearing more than Christ, a subject widely treated by Western artists. Venerated in all the nations of Asia, and even beyond, his image took form along the Silk Road, the birthplace of many schools of Buddhism. Indeed, the Buddhist religion recognises many Buddhas representing various traditions: such as Buddhism of "the Ancient Teaching‰ (Theravada), of "the Great Vehicle‰ (Mahayana) and Tantric Buddhism (Varjrayana). A figure adored.
