www.pahana.com.au MELBOURNE CHAPTER CEYLON SOCIETY OF AUSTRALIA At our next meeting Wayne Crothers will present an illustrated talk “In the Steps of the Buddha: A focus on Buddhist Art in the NGV Collection” Buddhism originated in India in the 6th century B.C. and was gradually transmitted to the rest of Asia. Early stylistic developments of Buddhism took place on its journey out of India and trans migration into China, Japan and Sri Lanka. For the first 500-700 years Buddhist iconography was nonfigurative; wheel of law, bodhi tree, footprints or pagodas as reliquaries holding relics of the Buddha or an important monk. It was only in the first or second century AD that the initial figurative sculptures appeared in two different styles produced at two different locations - Gandhara (present day Afghanistan) and Mathura (Indian). Buddhism was introduced from India to Sri Lanka in the second century, and via Central Asian trade routes to China as early as the first century and then to Korea and Japan in the sixth century. No later than the seventh century, Buddhism was introduced to Tibet from Nepal and China, where a specific school of Buddhism, known as Vajrayana or Tantric Buddhism, became the dominant religion. In this talk Wayne will discuss the transmission of Buddhism with leading examples of Buddhist art in the collection of the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV). Wayne Crothers is Senior Curator, Asian Art at the National Gallery of Victoria. He spent eighteen years living in Japan and researching historical sites throughout Asia. He has engaged in two years research at Kyoto Seika University, completed a Master of Fine Art Degree at Tama Art University in Tokyo, has lectured for six years at Musashino Art University in Tokyo, and held guest lecturing residencies at the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, China; Australian National University, Canberra and the Joan Miro Foundation, Spain. He has published widely on Asian works in the NGV collection and overseen several NGV exhibitions.

The Eye clinic was a longstanding requirement for the area, many going blind due to a lack of access to eye care. Dehiattakandiya is a very rural and remote town in the Ampara district, and the Base Hospital serves a population of over 100,000 people in adjoining 50 or so villages. Over 99% of people in the area are farmers, many of whom are affected by chronic kidney disease. The hospital is manned by a group of amazingly hard-working and enthusiastic young doctors (seen in the photo) who are determined to do their best and serve their patients even under the most difficult and challenging circumstances. AUSLMAT also supplied over AUD 30,000 worth medical equipment to Dehiattakadiya hospital High Dependency Unit during the COVID crisis last year, which helped to save the lives of many. We hope to visit Dehiattakandiya Hospital during our next medical mission in August this year. Please contact the AUSLMAT team (at [email protected]) if interested in joining the mission as a volunteer or donating used spectacle frames / other medical supplies to rural hospitals in Sri Lanka. 40 JULY 2022 PAHANA - LIGHT & LIFE The first Sri Lankan community newspaper with SINHALA | ENGLISH | TAMIL
