EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a significant moment in ancient Chinese history, showcasing the meeting of three influential figures - Lao-Tse, Confucius, and Buddha. The image portrays Lao-Tse presenting the young Confucius to Sakyamuni, also known as Gautama Buddha. Lao-Tse, renowned as a philosopher and the founder of philosophical Taoism, is believed to have lived during the 6th century BC. His teachings emphasized living in harmony with nature and finding balance within oneself. Confucius, born around 550 BC and passing away in 487 BC, was an esteemed philosopher who greatly impacted Chinese society through his moral values and principles. It is said that several meetings occurred between Confucius and Lao-Tse throughout their lifetimes. Buddha, or Sakyamuni Gautama Buddha as he is formally referred to here, represents enlightenment and spiritual awakening. As one of the most revered figures in Buddhism worldwide, his teachings emphasize compassion for all beings. The artwork captured by Wang Shugu (1669-1730) on this hanging scroll beautifully illustrates this legendary encounter between these great minds. This photograph serves not only as a visual delight but also as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage found within China's philosophies - from Taoism to Confucianism to Buddhism.
