Sculptures vary in sizes, and may be small enough to fit in the palm of a hand or large enough that they can only fit in a large outdoor space. Some sculptures are representative, and may look like a famous person; others may be abstract. The materials used in sculpture vary, and anything from ceramics, cement, recycled materials, paper or synthetics may be used to produce this particular type of art. By definition, a sculpture differs from other structures in that it does not have an intrinsically utilitarian purpose. HISTORY & ORIGIN Sculpture was used mainly as a form of religious art to illustrate the principles of Hinduism, Buddhism, or Jainism. The female nude in particular was used to depict the numerous attributes of the gods, for which it was often endowed with multiples heads and arms. Important milestones in the history of sculpture include: the Buddhist Pillars of Ashokaof the Mauryan period, with their wonderful carved capitals (3rd century BCE); the figurative Greco- Buddhist sculpture of the Gandhara and Mathura schools, and the Hindu art of the Gupta period (1st-6th century CE). In brief, the flow of the growth of sculpture is as follows: Indus Valley Civilization (c.3300-1300 BCE) Mauryan Sculpture: Pillars of Ashoka (3rd Century BC Ajanta Caves (c.200 BCE - 650 CE) Under the Kushans, sculpture from Gandhara and Mathura art went on to influence artists across India, Elephanta Caves (c.550-720) Pallava and Pandya Sculpture from South India (600-900) Ellora Caves (c.600-1000) Chandela Stone Sculpture in Central India (10th-13th century) Chola Bronze Sculpture of South India, Sri Lanka (9th-13th century) Famous Sculptures that impressed and inspired me 1) TheAshoka Pillars 2) SanchiStupa 3) Ajanta Caves 4).

Dimensions in cm: Height 8 x Width 29 x Depth 29 Dimensions in inches: Height 3.1 x Width 11.4 x Depth 11.4 Pietra dura is a term for the inlay technique of using cut and fitted, highly polished coloured stones to create images. It is considered a decorative art. Pietre dure is an Italian plural meaning "hard rocks" or hardstones; the singular pietra dura is also encountered in Italian. In Italian, but not in English, the term embraces all gem engraving and hardstone carving, which is the artistic carving of three-dimensional objects in semi-precious stone, normally from a single piece, for example in Chinese jade. The traditional convention in English has been to use the singular pietra dura just to denote multi-colored inlay work. However, in recent years there has been a trend to use pietre dure as a term for the same thing, but not for all of the techniques it covers, in Italian.

    University of Pennsylvania ScholarlyCommons Publicly Accessible Penn Dissertations 1985 The Concept of 'Dhamma' in Thai Buddhism: A Study in the Thought of Vajiranana and Buddhadasa Pataraporn Sirikanchana University of Pennsylvania Follow this and additional works at: https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations Part of the Philosophy Commons, and the Religion Commons Recommended Citation Sirikanchana, Pataraporn, "The Concept of 'Dhamma' in Thai Buddhism: A Study in the Thought of Vajiranana and Buddhadasa" (1985). Publicly Accessible Penn Dissertations. 954. https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/954 This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/954 For more information, please contact [email protected]. The Concept of 'Dhamma' in Thai Buddhism: A Study in the Thought of Vajiranana and Buddhadasa Abstract Dhamma is one of the most important and most difficult concepts in Pali Buddhism. Its significance lies in the fact that the term points to both the essence and the goal of Buddhism. Its ambiguity, however, results from the variety of the term's interpretations depending on its contexts. This dissertation analyzes the concept of dhamma in the writings of the two foremost interpreters of Thai Buddhism in the modern and contemporary periods, Vajiranana (1860-1921) and Buddhadasa (1906- ), who, in differing ways, attempt to recover the original teaching of the Buddha's dhamma. The study first describes the anger of meanings of the term in the Pali canonical materials, and selected western interpreters, before focusing on its normative and popular significance in Thai Buddhism. After discussing the historical context in which Vajiranana and Buddhadasa have worked, the dissertation then provides a detailed exposition of their interpretations of dhamma.

  • Enlightened – the Realm of the Buddhas
    Enlightened – The Realm of the Buddhas The Buddha seated on a lotus throne is one of the oldest and to date best-known representa- tions of Buddhism. Buddhist teachings emerged in northern India in the last pre-Christian millennium. From there it spread across Central and East Asia as far as Indonesia within a matter of 1,200 years. Today, Buddhism has over 380 million followers spread over the entire globe. Who was the Buddha and what was his message? How many Buddhas are there and how do they differ from one another? Is a Buddha always male? What is understood by enlightenment? The exhibition invites visitors to follow up on these and similar questions and explore the immense variety of Buddhism. At the centre stand the Three Jewels: the Buddha, his teachings, and the Buddhist community. The encounter with numerous Buddhas from South, Central, and East Asia will reveal that representations of the Buddha do not merely have a decorative function. They form the pillars of a spiritual practice and convey complex and intricate teachings. On his journey from prince to religious founder, Buddha Shakyamuni searched for the origin of suffering and for ways of overcoming it. Since his pursuit began roughly 2,500 years ago, a multitude of symbols and images of him and his teachings have emerged. What a Buddha had to look like was defined very early in various Indian writings. Unto this day, artists still follow these templates which makes recognizing a Buddha quite easy. At the same time, one is surprised again and again at the huge variety of representational modes which emerged with the spread of Buddhism and its encounter with local artistic expressions and ideas.
