: Re: [Buddha-l] Origin of the Buddha Image

[visuddhimati]

Hi there Rahula,

Here are a couple of links to the web,
I hope you find them useful and you'll find links to other websites  
there.

This is my first post.  I have quietly lurking for a little while.
I am more of an artist and meditator than a scholar.
Nevertheless I have found some of the threads very interesting/ 
stimulating.
Thank you all for that.
If you'd like to see some of my own work
  (some of it is Buddhist images interpreted by a Western artist,
some of it is personal explorations)
go to www.buddhist-pics.com

With metta
Visuddhimati.
