His teachings about the path to attaining wisdom and compassion spread throughout East and Southeast Asia. Buddhists across the continent created devotional sculptures, paintings, and ritual objects—used as aids for various liturgies and meditation practices—imbued with their local culture. From wise disciples to revered deities, the 12 paintings in this calendar depict the enlightening figures of Buddhism.
