In China, a country where Mahāyāna Buddhism took root, there exists a wealth of subject matter in Buddhist art, including everything from Buddhas to bodhisattvas and devarājas (heavenly kings). This display case includes a special selection of seven masterpieces of Buddhist painting from the National Palace Museum collection, focusing on the familiar image of the Amitābha Buddha, supreme figure of the Pure Land Sect. On either side are the attendant bodhisattvas Samantabhadra and Manjuśri, representing noble deeds and wisdom. Also on either side are representations of Avalokiteśvara (Kuan-yin), the Bodhisattva of Compassion. Finally, at either end are two devarāja figures to form a set of seven Buddhist figures. The Buddhist paintings in this display present an array of Buddhist images, from an imposing and lofty Buddha to the benevolent serenity of bodhisattvas and the fierce power of devarājas.
