The Longmen Grottoes, a Buddhist cave complex located 13 kilometers south of Luoyang in China’s Henan province, form some of the most significant and exquisite representations of ancient Chinese stone art. The Vairocana statue is flanked by a set of disciples and Bodhisattvas, and by a set of heavenly kings and guardians carved into the side walls, forming a semicircle. |
