The Bodhisattvas of the Ten Stages in Attaining the Most Perfect Knowledge, 1454. Creator: Unknown
The Bodhisattvas of the Ten Stages in Attaining the Most Perfect Knowledge, 1454. This painting represents bodhisattvas of the ten stages of enlightenment undergoing the final processes toward Buddhahood. This and the scroll nearby form part of a set of scrolls that were used to perform the Water-Land ( shuilu ) ritual. The sinuous curves of scarf and drapery, the layering of garments, and the minute detail all reflect the opulent visual atmosphere that surrounded the Ming worshipper in temples and spirit halls throughout the country. In the upper right corner of each painting is an imperial seal and an inscription in gold reading: Donated on the third day of the eighth month in the fifth year of the Jingtai reign (1454) of the Great Ming. Written in ink in the lower left corner is the record that they were made on imperial order, probably to present them to the Da Longfu monastery in Beijing

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Bodhisattvas of the Ten Stages in Attaining the Most Perfect Knowledge" a masterpiece created by an unknown artist in 1454. The painting beautifully portrays bodhisattvas, individuals on the path to enlightenment, as they undergo their final processes towards Buddhahood. Part of a set of scrolls used for the Water-Land ritual (shuilu), this artwork holds immense cultural and spiritual significance. Every intricate detail, from the sinuous curves of scarves and drapery to the layered garments, reflects the opulent visual atmosphere that surrounded Ming worshippers in temples and spirit halls across China. Inscribed with an imperial seal and golden characters stating its donation during the Jingtai reign's fifth year (1454) of Great Ming, each painting carries historical weight. Additionally, inked at its lower left corner is evidence that these artworks were commissioned under imperial order—likely intended as a gift for Beijing's Da Longfu monastery. Through this print brought to us by Heritage Art/Heritage Images, we can appreciate not only the artistic mastery but also gain insight into ancient rituals and religious practices. It serves as a window into Chinese history while reminding us of humanity's eternal quest for spiritual enlightenment.
