EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of profound significance in the Art of Gandhara. Depicting Buddha making the gesture of the wheel of the Law in motion, this artwork showcases the rich cultural heritage and religious symbolism associated with Buddhism. The sculpture, created by Pakistani artists from the 4th century, beautifully portrays Buddha's hand positioned as if kicking a wheel. This gesture is known as dharmachakramudra and represents his teachings on the path to enlightenment. The intricate details carved into shale bring out every nuance of expression on Buddha's face, conveying a sense of serenity and wisdom. Located in Pakistan's Peshawar region, this piece exemplifies the unique fusion between Indian and Hellenistic artistic styles that emerged during this period. The Art of Gandhara flourished as an important center for Buddhist artistry, blending influences from various cultures along ancient trade routes. As we gaze upon this photograph taken by Sylvain Collet, we are reminded not only of its aesthetic beauty but also its spiritual significance. It serves as a powerful symbol for those seeking enlightenment and understanding within Buddhism. This image invites us to reflect upon our own journey towards self-discovery and inner peace while appreciating the timeless legacy left behind by ancient civilizations.
