Visiting the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, I was lucky to catch the temporary exhibition called Realms of the Dharma: Buddhist Art Across Asia , incorporating 180 masterpieces of pan-Asian Buddhist art. I’ll record the art that impressed me here. This website acts as a personal aide-mémoire for me, allowing me to look back in a way that would otherwise be impossible. I also have a handful of faithful readers 😉.
