The Art of Buddhist Mind

Nearly two and half millennia ago, a person named siddhartha rose against the torment of life and tried to save the beings from the suffering. This great personality has multiferous dimension to understand and to begin with his dialectical methods depicted through the forms of Art has relevance for the most common problems of entire globe today.
Lets try to decifer those expression of the Muni of Sakya clan, who although forbed his followers to build any idol, yet you will be surprise to know that it is Buddha whose iconographical score is highest in the entire religious traditions!!
It was the Buddha who dare to say that do not rely upon the words even if it is said by me, you master.

It was the Buddha who said that religion is a tool to free yourself from suffering in the journey of life. Do not carry it beyond the need. He said as the following:-
भिक्खवे कूल्लूपमो मया धम्मदेसिता, नित्थरणत्थायाद नो गहणत्थाय।। (सूत्र पिटक-मज्झिम निकाय 1.22)
O monks, I have given you this small boat of religion to go to the other yonder, not to carry on your shoulder.
