Abstract:
The interpretation of early Buddha images with a crown has long been a source of debate. Many scholars have concluded that the iconography of the crown is intended to denote Śākyamuni as a cakravartin or universal Buddha. A few have suggested it represents a sambhogakāya Buddha in Mahāyāna Buddhism. This art historical and Buddhological study examines the visual record of early crowned Buddhas along the Silk Road, focusing on the iconographic signifiers of the crown, silk items, and ornaments, and interprets them within a broader framework of Buddhist theoretical principals and practice.

Abstract:
This study aims to investigate the ritual of a peculiar scripture entitled Chinshō yasha-hō 鎮將夜叉法 (Ch. Zhenjiang yecha fa. “Tantric Ritual of Chinshō Yakṣa”). The Japanese deity Chinshō Yakṣa is a Tendai variation of Vaiśravaṇa (Ch. Pishamen/Jp. Bishamon 毘沙門), a heavenly king who vowed to protect Buddhism. The ritual of Chinshō Yakṣa is a major ritual in Tendai Esotericism. It has been traditionally accepted that this scripture was transmitted from China. Modern scholarship, however, suspects that this ritual is Saichō’s 最澄 (767–822) invention. This study examines the contents and characters i

Abstract:
Abstract Key elements of the Vajrayāna, or tantric Buddhism, can be traced back to some of the earliest Buddhist scriptures, typically texts that give instructions for practices that culminate in worldly results, such as protection from supernatural beings, healing illness and curing poison, bringing rain, or ensuring the safe birth of children. These magical aspects of Buddhist practice include the recitation of spells (mantra and dhāraṇī), along with other techniques such as the delimitation of sacred space with magical items and the use of ritual gestures (mudrā).

Although the stone sitting Buddha statue from the Thủ Thiện temple has been documented by French scholars since the early 20th century, the Buddha figure currently on display at the Đà Nẵng Museum of Cham Sculpture remains a mystery in Cham Buddhist art from the 11th to 13th centuries. In addition to the other stone Buddha statue in meditation position on display at the Museum of Fine Arts in Ho Chi Minh City, these masterpieces are a challenge for modern Cham Buddhist art historians.

Abstract:
Identifying a figure or character is a rudimentary step in reading a visual image, but it is an indispensable foundation for a variety of more sophisticated investigations and interpretations. For Buddhist art specialists as well, identifying various divinities represented in visual images has been a major preoccupation. This task, commonly referred to as ‘iconography’, is sometimes quite straightforward but sometimes not so simple, owing to the inconsistency of visual evidence or its incongruence with literary stipulations, or the lack of sufficient specificity. Its difficulty also often vari
