Buddhism's Arrival and Subsequent Development in China with Eric Greene, Yale University
Very informative video. The forthcoming exhibition sounds wonderful and very well thought out. I really like the 'experiencial' element of the exhibition.
I keep gettin unsubcribed from this channel
You should have included English subtitles.
Lot of ancient and modern sculpture don't know even arm and finger of Buddha a little bit longer than usual, but actually His body proporsional because He also has longer calf, Buddha has tall body .
This is wonderful! Thank you! 🙏🏾
Thank you Ryan.
Well done and Great effort! Sounds just like one of those Tang dynasty movie soundtracks! The volume of the harp isn't loud enough in the recording (furthest from the mic?), perhaps it would sound a lot better if I could be in the live audience !
Very nice!
Thank you.

@@TomokoSugawaraHarpist Your welcome. It's useful, isn't it ?
@@YANAGITAtokinori Yes thank you. Also I love your channel. I learned there. Do you play? What do you play? I hope to listen to it?
@@TomokoSugawaraHarpist Your welcome. For these years I practice modern piano. I don't like playing in the public. My playing skill is for only studying music. Before,I learned playing modern flute and flute. I also learned playing and making oboe and Baroque flute and oboe by myself. You can find my movies about that in my youtube channel.
@@YANAGITAtokinori I thought you are playing some gagaku instruments.
