"The Gandavyūha, a sacred text of Mahāyāna Buddhism, is an allegorical tale of
the pilgrimage of a youth named Sudhana, who visits fifty-three spiritual mentors
to receive their instruction in the Conduct of the Bodhisattva. His miraculous journey
on the path towards Enlightenment inspired the sculptors of Borobudur (9th century
C.E.) to illustrate the tale in 460 bas-reliefs on the higher galleries of this great
Javanese monument. During the 1920s N.J. Krom and F.D.K. Bosch identified many of
the panels, but most of their findings, written in Dutch, remained unnoticed. Entering
the Dharmadhātu compares the complete set of panels with three early Chinese translations
of Central Asian and Indian Sanskrit manuscripts of the Gandavyūha. This first identification
of the entire series in English concludes with a discussion of the new perspectives
on the meaning, symbolism, and architecture of Borobudur that a reading of the Gandavyūha
suggests."--Publisher's description
