  Cultural Selection: Intercultural Elements of the Silk Roads in Korean Buddhist Art | Silk Roads Pro

The expansion of Buddhist art impacted the development of Asian art more generally through the cultural exchanges facilitated by these roads. (...) Although it was mostly through China that Buddhism reached the Korean Peninsula, the source of Buddhist teachings and art forms can be traced back to the Indian Subcontinent where the religion originated in the 5 th century BC. Many Chinese and Korean pilgrims made difficult journeys to the Indian Subcontinent to visit holy places, learn about the Buddha’s teachings, and acquire Buddhist texts and images. At the same time, Indian and Central Asian monks travelled to China and some even to the Korean Peninsula, where they translated Buddhist texts, transmitted Buddhism and established new types of images of Buddha.
