| Details: | Benevolent Beings: Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from South and Southeast Asia brings together 42 rarely seen works of art from the Norton Simon collections to explore the diverse ways in which buddhas, bodhisattvas and other protective deities have been seen to offer blessings, guidance and security to their devotees. In South Asian Buddhist temples from the 13th to 18th centuries, works of art indicated a transition from the secular to the sacred, with the innermost spaces of the shrine reserved for the most revered objects. Drawing inspiration from these design elements, the exhibition begins with a gallery of utilitarian and instructive votive objects, such as a censer, or incense burner, as well as highly decorated covers for Buddhist manuscripts. Some objects functioned as tools for worship, whereas others were specifically designed to engage the senses.
