Buddhism: A Journey through Art by R. M. Woodward offers a comprehensive exploration of Buddhist art as both a spiritual practice and a powerful visual tradition. Tracing Buddhism’s origins in India and its spread across Asia, the book examines how religious philosophy, ritual, meditation, and devotion have been expressed through sculpture, painting, and sacred objects over more than two millennia.
 
Through insightful text and carefully selected illustrations, the book reveals how Buddhist art functioned not only as an aid to worship but also as a visual path toward liberation. Highlighting the exchange of artistic ideas across cultures and the creative interpretations of different Buddhist schools, this volume serves as an essential introduction to the rich, diverse, and enduring history of Buddhist artistic expression.
