EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us to the serene surroundings of Wat Phumin in Nan, Thailand. This remarkable artwork, created by the Thai School in the 19th century, beautifully captures an important moment in Buddhist history. The image depicts Buddha delivering his first sermon to his disciples after attaining enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. The atmosphere is filled with tranquility as Buddha imparts his teachings on the path to liberation from suffering. His compassionate gaze and serene countenance exude wisdom and enlightenment. Adjacent to this scene is another narrative called "Khattana Kuman Jataka". It tells a story from one of Buddha's previous lives when he was born as Prince Vessantara.
