'A Thousand-Year Glance: Landscapes of Belt and Road countries in Thangka Paintings' exhibition held in Thailand
Tibetan Buddhism is one of the systems of Chinese Buddhism. In the latter half of the 8th century, Guru Padmasambhava introduced Buddhism to Xizang, officially starting the spread of Buddhism in the region. This exhibition selectively displays 40 classic works from the "Thousand Thangkas of Master Padmasambhava" project, showcasing the legendary stories of Guru Padmasambhava, a principal founder of Tibetan Buddhism, in various locations at the foothills of the Himalayas, from China to Nepal, to ancient India, including today's Thailand. Each Thangka carries rich historical and cultural significance, displaying the unique characteristics of countries along the "Belt and Road." This exhibition marks the first overseas public presentation of the "Thousand Thangkas of Master Padmasambhava" project.
