The Hand That Painted the Buddha — From an Indian Gorge to a Desert Cliff

The face of the Buddha, born in an Indian gorge, carried on east across mountains and desert. From gorge caves where the Buddha was painted on every wall, to the great niches of a cliff above a mountain road, to desert caves vaulted in lapis blue, to the Dunhuang cliff carved over a thousand years — you walk, one by one, the places the hand that painted the Buddha crossed.
