Buddhist Art From Around the World

Uploaded on Sep 10, 2009
This video includes Buddha Statues
(Rupas) and Buddhist art mostly from from around Asia and Europe. I
have included several large Buddha and Quan Yin rupas located throughout
Southeast Asia, including Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Burma, Thailand
& China. I have included Buddha rupas in India and Sri Lanka. I
have also included a Bamiyan Buddha located in Afghanistan (since
destroyed by the taliban), one from Pakistan, and several Buddha figures
discovered in Greece. Some of the Buddha rupas featured were housed in
monasteries that were destroyed during the cultural revolution in
Tibet. I have also included several styles of Stupas (Chortens) located
in and around Tibet, India and Nepal. While time and the elements have
been kinder to some of these works of art than others, I feel that they
are no less important. Than you for watching. Tashi Delek &
Peace!
