Treasures for Buddha: The Legendary Offerings from Nanjing Dabao’en Temple**
Opening Spring 2022
Organized by China Institute Gallery and Nanjing Museum Administration
China’s finest Ashoka stupa, unearthed in 2008 from the underground palace at the site of the Dabao’en Temple in Nanjing, and its accompanying treasures reflect the practice of 12th-century Buddhist offerings. Introduced for the first time in the US, this exhibition will also tell the legend of the renowned imperial Dabao’en Temple, which was built by order of the Yongle Emperor in 1412, along with the so-called porcelain tower, considered by Westerners to be a “Wonder of the Medieval World.”
