Omschrijving
According to sacred texts, the historical Buddha encouraged his disciples to make pilgrimages to sites associated with his life. This book employs sacred objects, textiles, sculpture, manuscripts, and paintings to discuss the relationship between Buddhist pilgrimage and Asia's artistic production.
“Sumptuously illustrated . . . usefully organized . . . Although the photographs from the exhibit alone are worth the price, the book includes several short essays that are immensely valuable to introduce Buddhist pilgrimage to a general audience . . . Excellent.”—Mark MacWilliams, Religious Studies Review
Adriana Proser is the John H. Foster Curator of Traditional Asian Art at Asia Society Museum, New York.
