What are the characteristics of Nepal?

Nepal Buddhism (Nepal Buddhism)

Nepal is one of the earliest popular areas of Buddhism. The founder of Buddhism, Sakyamuni, was born in Lumbini (now Lominda near Tirolaco in southern Nepal).

According to legend, around 520 BC, Sakyamuni led his disciples to spread Buddhism in Nepal Valley. In 265 BC, King Ashoka of the Indian Peacock Dynasty took his daughter Charumati to worship in Lumbini Garden, erected the "Negariva" stone pillar and built the "Bi Borova" stupa in Patan City. He married his daughter to a local member of the royal family named Tipo Poirot. Shalumati built a temple named after himself in Nepal. In addition, Indian monks Shambalamo and Kasapagato were sent to Nepal to promote Buddhism. Since the establishment of Li Chu Pi Dynasty, Nepal has been the center of Buddhist pilgrimage. In the first few centuries after A.D., Buddhism said that everything has its part. After the rise of Mahayana Buddhism, the theoretical founder of Yoga School went to Nepal to spread Buddhism there.

Buddhist art in Nepal has been famous for its exquisiteness since ancient times. Solemn temples and towers, pure wood carvings, all kinds of gold and bronze Buddha statues, decoration and painting all have their own characteristics and high artistic skills. There are also Nepalese craftsmen in foreign countries such as India, Sikkim, Bhutan and Tibet. Thangka, Nepal, has a long reputation. Thangka existed in the world 1300 years ago. Today, it is a world-famous and very popular Nepalese handicraft. There are many kinds of Thangka, especially the six divisions in Tancheng Map, Karmapa Wheel and Shiquanzi Map, which show the exquisiteness and creativity of Thangka's painting art. Compared with Thangka, Tibet, Qinghai and other regions in China, the color is slightly gorgeous, but elegant.
