Exhibition Overview

Within the Buddhist traditions of the Himalayas, three bodhisattvas emerge as personifications of Buddhist ideals. Manjushri, who cuts through ignorance and personifies correct knowledge; Avalokiteshvara, a compassionate protector of the devout that helps reveal the true nature of reality; and Vajrapani as the embodiment of the energy of enlightenment. Focusing on dramatic images, a worshipper could first evoke the subtle knowledge that Manjushri personifies, then with Avalokiteshvara’s aid, it is possible to proceed in a way free from self-imposed delusions, while Vajrapani’s transcendent power aids in destroying jealousy and hatred that stand in the way of enlightenment. Venerating these three bodhisattvas together has a long history, and they play an essential role in the introduction of Buddhism to Tibet. This exhibition draws together a dramatic group of paintings, sculptures, ritual objects, and illustrated manuscripts from the eleventh to eighteenth centuries, made primarily for Nepal and Tibet’s monastic institutions. Beautifully cast sculptures and accessible paintings showing peaceful manifestations of the bodhisattvas intended for the public are juxtaposed with complex tantric images of the highest quality done in portable media made for monastic elites. Vajrayana images offered powerful ways to access these bodhisattvas as a personal path to enlightenment, though often undertaking such rituals was done with a ruler’s sponsorship for the people’s benefit. This exhibition presents some of the sublime representations of these three bodhisattvas at the center of this great devotional tradition embraced across the Himalayas.

展覽總覽

在喜馬拉雅山的佛教傳統中，三菩薩出現為佛教理想的化身。文殊菩薩，杜絕愚昧，將正確的知識人格化；觀世音菩薩，虔誠的慈悲保護者，有助於揭示現實的真實本質；而金剛帕尼（Vajrapani）則是啟蒙能量的化身。朝拜者著重於戲劇性的影像，他首先可以喚起文殊菩薩化身的微妙知識，然後在觀世音菩薩的幫助下，有可能擺脫自我強加的妄想，而瓦杰拉帕尼的超凡力量則有助於消除嫉妒和仇恨。啟蒙的方式。將這三個菩薩一起尊敬已有很長的歷史，它們在佛教傳入西藏方面發揮著至關重要的作用。該展覽匯集了一組戲劇性的繪畫，雕塑，禮儀物品以及十一至十八世紀的插圖手稿，主要是為尼泊爾和西藏的修道院機構製作的。精美鑄造的雕塑和可訪問的繪畫，展現了供公眾使用的菩薩的和平表現，並與為修道院精英製作的便攜式媒體中最高質量的複雜密宗圖像並置。金剛乘圖片提供了有效的途徑來訪問這些菩薩，作為個人的啟蒙之路，儘管經常通過統治者的讚助來開展此類儀式，以使人民受益。這次展覽展示了這三個菩薩的崇高表現，這是喜馬拉雅山所奉行的這一偉大的奉獻傳統的核心。
