Summary

From the nascence of Buddhism in India, in the fifth and sixth centuries BC, the Buddhist doctrines spread into Southeast and North Asia through scriptures, paintings and sculptures. Buddhist art has become a distinct, complex and long-lasting cultural influence and Buddhist culture has been widely disseminated throughout the region for nearly two-and-half millennia.
