In this long time, Buddhist art has long transcended the differences in regions, texts, customs and cultures, and has become an indispensable part of the history of Chinese art .

For this reason, we have launched a series of courses with the theme of Buddhist caves and statue art, and explores in-depth the secrets between its creation, evolution and inheritance.

However, to this day, we have rarely digged deep into the single figures in Buddhist art and interpreted the fundamental source of faith behind the classic statues.

The course "Chinese Bodhisattva" that we grandly launched today is a course that teaches you the systematically the Bodhisattva in Buddhist culture .

Bodhisattva, full name "Bodhisattva", transliterated by Sanskrit in Bodhisattva, meaning it is translated as enlightened sentient beings.

Bodhi means enlightenment, Sattva means sentient beings or sentient beings. Bodhisattva seeks Bodhi with wisdom and transforms sentient beings with compassion. It is the core representative of the "self-awareness and awareness" spirit of Mahayana Buddhism, and it is also the most familiar Buddhist figure in the hearts of Chinese people.

Bodhisattva statues distributed in various caves and temples

Painters and sculptors of all generations are keen on creating rich and diverse images of Bodhisattvas, and has thus formed a cultural heritage that has become a grand view.

Even if Bodhisattvas can be seen everywhere, the Bodhisattva's beliefs are deeply rooted in people's hearts and have influenced Chinese culture and art for thousands of years. However, for many people, they still have the confusion of being foolish when facing many Bodhisattvas; When walking into a temple/visiting a museum, when facing the images of classic Bodhisattvas, they suddenly feel at a loss and don’t know how to appreciate them.
