| Abstract | In recent years, several images depicting „Two Sitting Buddhas“ have been discovered
outside China. The paper aims to argue that the origin of this image should be sought in the
ancient Indian cultural area. As the symbol of the Lotus Sūtra par excellence, this image
closely related to former Buddhist centers of the Lotus Sūtra worship. Now, we can considerably extend the distributing area of the Lotus Sūtra culture: in the western direction from
Khotan via Hodur and Gilgit to Loriyan Tangai and in China from Yungang and Longmen to
the Shandong peninsula. |
