Buddhism was born in northeastern India during the sixth century B.C.E. and now encompasses over five hundred million followers worldwide. Buddhism spread overland and by sea to many parts of Asia, reaching China by the first century C.E., and Southeast Asia by the seventh century C.E. This exhibition features painted scrolls, bronze and wood sculptures, and bronze ritual bells from Japan; stone carvings and sculptures from India; and Buddhist cave carvings and bronze statues from Imperial China all reflecting the influence Buddhism has had on these cultures.
