Buddhist Blog
Please enjoy reading my blog posts discussing the origination and meaning of handcrafted sculpture made in Nepal. The design concepts of Nepali Buddhist sculpture are based on the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas that have evolved with Buddhism over the last 2500 years. However, Tibetan Buddhism has progressively changed Buddhist art since its inception in the 8th century ACE. Indeed, Nepal has been the workshop for Tibetan monasteries for over 1000 years. As a result, the designs of Nepali statues and thangka paintings are more complex due to their Tantric roots. Join me for a comprehensive overview of Nepali Buddhist sculpture, Buddhist philosophy and the practice of Buddhism.
