Buddhist paintings are a general term for paintings that visually express the Buddhist worldview and teachings. While Buddhist statues are three-dimensional representations of the Buddha, Buddhist paintings depict Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, heavenly beings, etc. as paintings. Narrative paintings that depict Buddhist teachings and stories, and mandalas that depict the Buddhist worldview in a stylized form are also types of Buddhist paintings. Not only are they used for worship and ceremonies in temples, but they have also played an important role as a means of spreading Buddhist teachings.
