In this captivating collection of images, we catch a glimpse into the world of Buddhist priests across different regions and time periods. From China in the early 1900s to Japan, Mongolia, Burma, Ceylon, and Vietnam, these snapshots offer us a diverse portrayal of the spiritual leaders who dedicated their lives to Buddhism. One lithograph titled "The Outrages on Missionaries in China" takes us back to c. 1900 when tensions ran high between missionaries and locals. Amidst this turmoil, we see a Buddhist priest from Foochow and Kucheng Districts standing tall with unwavering faith. Another lithograph showcases a Japanese Buddhist priest adorned in his ceremonial robes. The intricate details of his attire reflect not only his devotion but also the rich cultural heritage that surrounds him. Moving onto an engraving called "Bana Maduwa, " we are transported to Sri Lanka (Ceylon), where a serene-looking Buddhist priest is depicted engrossed in prayer or meditation within the confines of a sacred space known as Bana Maduwa. Journeying further eastward through another engraving from Myanmar (Burma), we encounter yet another embodiment of tranquility - a Burmese Buddhist priest deep in contemplation amidst lush surroundings. His presence exudes wisdom acquired through years spent following the teachings of Buddha. A photograph attributed to Kusakabe Kimbei provides insight into Japanese Buddhism once again. This image captures an enigmatic moment featuring a mysterious figure believed to be a revered Buddhist priest engaged in ritualistic practices that have been passed down through generations. As our exploration continues into Mongolia with Jegor Skotnikoff's lithograph, we encounter an awe-inspiring Lama belonging to the Mongolian Tartars community. Dressed regally and surrounded by symbols representing his spirituality, he stands as testament to both inner peace and outer strength. Vietnam beckons us next with its vibrant portrayal of the Buddhist clergy.
