O soše
Seated Amitabha, a Korean sculpture of the 1300s in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, presents the Buddha as a monk. His shaved head and plain robes distinguish him from the elaborate jewellery and long hair used for bodhisattvas. Both types of Buddhist figures guide sentient beings toward enlightenment, but their visual forms differ. Buddhas have entered nirvana, whereas bodhisattvas commit themselves to helping others attain it. The statue follows the simpler monastic appearance assigned to a Buddha within that distinction.
Slovy muzea
In Buddhist art, buddhas (supreme beings who entered the world of nirvana) and bodhisattvas (compassionate beings committed to the attainment of enlightenment for others) are two main subjects. The religious role of buddhas and bodhisattvas—to lead all sentient beings to the realm of Buddhahood—is the same, yet visual languages to represent them is different. As shown in this statue, the Buddha is represented as a monk with shaven head and dressed in simple monastic robes. Bodhisattvas, on the other hand, are adorned with elaborate jewelry and a lock of long hair.
