宏船老和尚圆寂廿五周年纪念

“佛法博大精深，其弘传之责任，不仅出家人，而尤赖在家居士共肩此艰巨任务。俾人人皆知正觉之大道。吾人研习佛法，约有远缘，近缘两大类别之根器，其夙根敏颖者，一闻千悟，可以顿超如来地，此曰近缘。其由积渐勤学，循序而进，终至解行相应，契合佛心而成道者，虽不一定今生证得，而待来生者，即曰远缘。便不论如何，诸位如能时时得有闻法之机会，或得阅及而受文字般若之熏陶；心生欢喜，以是因缘，即是种下菩提之因，久远将来，当亦有成佛之机会。故曰佛教方便多门也。”—— 摘自《宏船长老法汇》

Treasures from Asia's Oldest Museum Buddhist Art from the Indian Museum, Kolkata

Asian Civilisations Museum

16 Jun 2015 - 16 Aug 2015

Free admission

The exhibition presents the evolution of Buddhism through the art of India. Important sculptures and paintings from the Indian Museum in Kolkata will trace the Jataka stories (past life stories of the Buddha), scenes from the life of the Buddha, and symbols used to represent Buddhist concepts. Representations of bodhisattvas and the Buddha will be on display. The exhibition features striking sculptures from the Pala and Gandhara cultures.

The Indian Museum, Kolkata, is the oldest museum in Asia, and greatly influenced the founding of other institutions in the region. Singapore's strong historic ties to Kolkata give this exhibition a special resonance, especially during 2015, Singapore's 50th anniversary as well as the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between India and Singapore. Seen outside the ACM is the obelisk commemorating Indian viceroy Lord Dalhousie's visit from Kolkata in 1850.
