EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork titled "Buddha with the Great Miracle (the Miracle of Shravasti)" from Afghanistan's Gandhara region. Created by the Afghan School in the 3rd century, this piece is made of shale with traces of gilding. The image depicts a significant event in Buddha's life as he journeyed to Shravasti, the capital of Koshala kingdom. During a heated debate with rival religious leaders, Buddha utilized his divine powers to perform various miracles. He effortlessly multiplied his own image into infinity and emitted flames from his shoulder while water cascaded from his feet. Witnessing these extraordinary phenomena, those present were immediately converted to Buddhism. The artist skillfully captures this pivotal moment through intricate details and expert craftsmanship. The delicate gilding adds a touch of opulence to the otherwise earthy shale material, enhancing its visual appeal. This artwork not only represents an important episode in Buddhist mythology but also serves as a powerful symbol for spiritual transformation and enlightenment. It reminds viewers that even amidst challenges and debates, one can find solace and guidance through embracing the teachings of Buddha. Photographed by Sylvain Collet, this print preserves both the historical significance and artistic beauty of this ancient masterpiece for all admirers of art, Asia, religion, Buddhism or mythology to appreciate without any commercial use intended.
