This needs lots and lots – what statues represent, which statues are used, deity meditation etc. Secretlondon (talk) 04:35, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mara pic[edit]

The subject of the image is now referenced on the image file. It is important to be careful in distinguishing, as Huntington is, sometimes anyway, between the argument that describing the early phase of Buddhist art as "the aniconic period" or similar phrases is incorrect, and arguing that there were no aniconic images.

Possible typo[edit]

In the second paragraph both the words "boddhisattva" and "boddhisattava" appear. Is this a typo? 187.111.234.39 (talk) 22:22, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
