It goes without saying that Baekje introduced Buddhism and Buddhist art to our country. Furthermore, those who were engaged in the creation of Buddhist statues in Japan during the early days of the introduction of Buddhism were all technicians or their descendants who came from ancient Korea and China. Many of the models for Buddhist statues of the Asuka and Hakuhō periods were also ancient Korean Buddhist statues. ● Korean Buddhism The introduction of Buddhism to the Korean Peninsula began in the late 4th century during the Wei, Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties period... originating in India, the birthplace of Buddhism, and spreading to China, the Korean Peninsula, and Japan. On the Korean Peninsula, it spread to the Three Kingdoms of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla. Buddhism was brought to Goguryeo and Silla by the monk Ado, a man of foreign origin. ● Amitabha Buddha "Honshi Honbutsu" (Original Teacher, Original Buddha), Immeasurable Life Buddha, Immeasurable Light Buddha Amitabha Buddha is respected as "Honshi Honbutsu" by all the Buddhas in the universe because he possesses superior powers that other Buddhas do not have. Amitabha Buddha is the "teacher Buddha" of all the Buddhas in the universe. Since Shakyamuni Buddha is one of the Buddhas in the universe, Amitabha Buddha is the teacher... and Shakyamuni Buddha is the disciple. ※ Requests ※ ★ Product Valuation and Price There is no fixed price for old items with history, and the acquisition channels and prices vary.
