About the Book
This scholarly work traces the origins of narrative compositions in sculptural reliefs that depict the life of the Buddha. The book analyzes these artistic representations in the context of various biographical texts, offering a detailed study of episodes including the Buddha’s birth, enlightenment, first sermon, the miracle at Sravasti, descent from Tusita heaven, subduing of Nalagiri, and culminating in the Mahaparinirvana. By linking textual sources with visual art, the work provides an in-depth understanding of how Buddhist narratives were expressed through sculpture. Essential for scholars, students, and enthusiasts of Buddhist art and history, this book illuminates the rich interplay between literature and visual representation in Buddhist traditions.
