As a Chinese, I always feel cordial when I see the Chinese traditional elements of artistic exhibition in the State.
At the second floor of Rubin Museum, Getaway to Himalayan Art exhibition excites my mind. These paintings, used by mineral pigments, passing the Buddhist symbols through hundred years. Moreover, the prayer wheel, stupa, and the most important character﹣Buddha, all of these elements are telling me the spirit of Tibetan and Indian Buddhist shining on the Himalayan Mountains.
Especially this painting:
The painting tells us a story about how Buddha universals restoration, and has infinite life for helping countless beings in Pure Land. Under his feet, which is the world for human beings; above his head that is the Pure Land. All of creatures are blessed by him, the great Saviour, existing through the painting.
Also, there are exquisite metal sculptures in the exhibition:
He is setting on his Lotus seat, looking at us, observing his people.
Thank you for reading.
PS:the evidence
Looking forward to seeing you all.
Oh! I went to the same place! I have those types of buddha in your picture at home(China). Well a smaller one.
