Dear listmembers,
for about two or three decades, starting at the end of the 19th century,
it was very popular in Sri Lanka monasteries to visualize buddhist
themes in a style which is reminiscent of theater performances.
I came across a monastery in Colombo where the complete Buddhacarita is
depicted in this painting style and I decided now to make a video with
(german accented) englisch eplanations.
If you are interested, please follow this link and let me know what you
are missing
