Chinese Buddhist Narratives in Light of Indian Sources
The Vessantara jātaka (also called the Sudāna jātaka in its Chinese versions) is one of the most highly renowned and widely circulated jātaka s, or birth stories of the Buddha, in the Buddhist world.

Among a few sixth-century reliefs, scenes showing Prince Sudāna in exile appear to have been selected to crystallise the whole story, replacing…
Filial Piety in Fluidity
The Śyāma jātaka is renowned for its portrayal of a devoted son who cared for his blind parents.

A large number of stone blocks, stacked up in diminishing size to form pagodas, was discovered in northern China, primarily eastern Gansu and southeastern Shanxi. Their stylistic traits and inscriptions indicate the popularity of the practice of making stacked pagodas in the Northern dynasties (circa the fifth and sixth centuries CE). They display a variety of Buddhist imagery on surface, which is in contrast with the simplification of the struct…

It contributes to the current field by providing new perspectives for readdressing some issues that remain underexplored. First, it challenges the ove…
