The many deities
depicted in Buddhist art represent the positive potential of living
beings. They are related to in different ways, according to the
many traditions of Buddhism. They are treated as separate god-like
beings by some, and to others they serve as representatives of
particular positive minds - indeed the relationship is ultimately
left to the individual practitioner. Whatever the relationship,
however, the underlying principle of Buddhist values of self-development
lead to these images representing something that we ourselves
can attain.
On this page we
will provide links to images of Buddhas that have been produced
by our artists and give a little understanding of what they represent.
We aim to provide information
about all the Buddhas featured on our website as well as info
about the artists painting them.

If you are interested in inviting us
to give teaching on symbolic representation in Buddhism, meeting
our artists or having some art sessions near you contact us;
