I'm going to an art opening of buddhist ritual art this Friday. The site is being consecrated I guess would be the word? by a group of buddhist nuns before the doors open. I also recently checked out a book from the library about buddhist themes and images in functional, ornamental, and art objects throughout history.

So! Have you seen any buddhist art beyond the statues of the bodhisatvas and buddahs?

Well..I once drew this little monk meditating. My Sensei said it was cute. I have this Tibetan picture that was drawn by someone (i emailed it to myself)

Link to pictures from the opening.

Here are some pics (taken with my cellphone, so they aren't that great) of both the opening where a nun from Taiwan performed a very abbreviated version of the "Land and Water Ritual" and of a couple of the scrolls. I'll be going back when I find the charger for my REAL digicam, but in the meantime these will have to do.

Fixed the link.
