041 Seated Buddha¹ of Gandhara 31 May 2010

Mon, 31 May 10

One of the earliest images of the seated Buddha. Neil MacGregor, Director of the British Museum, looks at how Buddhism² set about creating the classic image to represent the real life Buddha, who lived and roamed around North India in the 5th Century BC. It was not until over five hundred years later that the classic seated image was first formulated³. The Dalai Lama's official translator, Thupten Jinpa, and the historian Claudine Bautze-Picron help explain how the image came about.
