Many folks with western religious upbringings find discomfort when faced, at least in a practice context, with a Buddha Rupa (statue) or other images and of course even more so when bowing or offerings are encouraged.
In this episode we'll talk about Buddha images: their history, practices we might use with them, as well as discuss the show on display at the Metropolitan Museum in NYC on early Buddhist artwork.
Two of Doug's Videos:
Buddhism and Icons: Prohibition to "Idolatry" -- https://youtu.be/qRqxuxS1qUg
Tree & Serpent: New Exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum -- https://youtu.be/RG3VjmMe6tY
