Features: This book is one volume of the 28-volume "Complete Collection of Dunhuang Grottoes," a key publishing project of the National Cultural Relics Administration. The focus of this volume is on the various Buddhist transformation paintings and sculptures created based on the "Lotus Sutra," "Nirvana Sutra," and "Vimalakirti Sutra" in the Dunhuang Grottoes. The sections are generally organized into several stages, including the Sui Dynasty, Early Tang, High Tang, Mid-Tang, and Guiyijun period, providing detailed interpretations of the content, form, artistic achievements, and representative caves of the painting and sculpture art of each period. Accompanied by 246 exquisite color illustrations, the book is highly academic and artistic, making it the first large-scale art album in both China and abroad that discusses the Buddhist transformation art of the "Lotus Sutra," "Nirvana Sutra," and "Vimalakirti Sutra" in the Dunhuang Grottoes in a thematic format.
