EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the serene beauty of the Seated Buddha statue located in the Vijjadhara Cave within Gal Vihara, Sri Lanka. Crafted from granite during the 12th century, this remarkable piece of art is a testament to Sri Lankan craftsmanship and devotion to Buddhism. The Seated Buddha is depicted in the Dhyana Mudra position, symbolizing deep meditation and inner peace. With eyes closed and hands resting on his lap, he exudes an aura of tranquility that captivates all who gaze upon him. In this particular depiction, the Buddha is believed to be preaching the Dhamma (Buddhist doctrine) to Matha, his mother. This adds a profound layer of significance to the artwork as it represents not only spiritual enlightenment but also familial love and compassion. Surrounded by deities bearing flywhisks and adopting meditative postures themselves, this image captures a moment frozen in time where divinity meets humanity. The intricate details carved into every curve and contour reflect both skillful artistry and unwavering devotion. As we admire this timeless masterpiece captured by Julian Page's lens, we are reminded of the enduring power of Buddhist teachings and their ability to guide individuals towards inner harmony. This photograph serves as a window into history, inviting us to contemplate our own journey towards enlightenment while appreciating the rich cultural heritage preserved within Gal Vihara.
