 | | Northern Buddhist art thus tends to be characterized by a very rich and syncretic Buddhist pantheon, with a multitude of images of the various Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and lesser deities. | | | One of the most characteristic creations of Tibetan Buddhist art are the mandalas, diagrams of a “divine temple” made of a circle enclosing a square, the purpose of which is to help Buddhist worshipers focus their attention through meditation and follow the path to the central image of the Buddha. | | | The art of the northern route was also highly influenced by the development of Mahayana Buddhism, an inclusive faith characterized by the adoption of new texts, in addition to the traditional Pali canon, and a shift in the understanding of Buddhism. |

| | Borobudur -- one of the most magnificent Buddhist shrines in the world -- was built at the end of the 9th century by the Hindu kings of the Sailendra dynasty. | | | This statue of Fudo, whose name means "immovable," is a staunch guardian of the Buddhist faith, warding off enemies of the Buddha with his word of wisdom and binding evil forces with his lasso. | | | A symbol of steadfastness in the face of temptation, Fudo is one of the most commonly depicted of the Esoteric Buddhist deities known as Myo-o, "King of Brightness." Here his youthful, chubby body and his skirt and scarf are modeled with the restrained, gentle curves typical of late Heian sculpture. |

| | DailyOM - Buddhist Meditational Art |
| | Though Buddhist art reflects many artistic schools as it evolved in many different regions through the centuries, the images of Siddhartha, holy places and the many teachers turn abstract concepts into clear, unimpeded thoughts. | | | In the Buddhist culture of the past, many monks, as well as traveling religious laypeople, created rich tapestries and carved relics, but few signed their work. | | | It was by no means selfish to do so, because Buddhist belief states that the commissioning of meditative art brings good fortune not only to the donor, but to all conscious beings throughout the world. |
