| Abstract | Without sacrificing detail，Karetzky describes succinctly the history of Buddhist painting，sculpture and metalwork in China as part of the story of Buddhism's entry into China and the many forms of Buddhist practice there. An introduction details the life of Buddha and tenets of Buddhism.
The book provides a succinct yet richly detailed history of Buddhist art in China. It describes the rise of the religion in India and its transmission to China; outlines the stylistic and technical development and iconographical themes of Buddhist art in China throughout all its major periods; explains Mahayana Buddhism and its pantheon; and describes the features unique to Chan，Esoteric and popular Buddhist art.
It is an excellent primer for anyone new to the subject，as well as an invaluable source of recent research and excavation for experts and contains over fifty previously unpublished illustrations. |
