EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "A Buddhist Ordination in Ceylon" takes us back to the vibrant and sacred atmosphere of a traditional ceremony. Created by Alfred Chantrey Corbould, this print offers a glimpse into the spiritual world of Buddhism in Sri Lanka during the late 19th century. In this scene, we witness a significant moment as a candidate prepares to take vows and become ordained as a Buddhist monk. The candidate stands before the robed chief priest, surrounded by other monks and worshippers within the ornate chapter hall. The air is filled with reverence and anticipation. The presence of an experienced tutor adds depth to this meaningful occasion. With his guidance, the candidate will embark on a lifelong journey dedicated to spiritual growth and enlightenment. Ceylon's Maha Nayaka Unnanse, one of its most revered religious figures at that time, presides over this ordination ceremony. His wisdom and authority are evident as he bestows blessings upon the aspiring monk-to-be. This engraving not only captures an important ritual but also showcases the rich cultural heritage of Sri Lanka. It serves as a reminder of Asia's diverse traditions and their profound impact on individuals seeking inner peace through Buddhism. Bridgeman Images' reproduction allows us to appreciate both Corbould's artistic talent and his ability to transport viewers across time and space into this sacred moment in history.
