Another exhibit that captures the heart at first sight

I can't move forward again after reaching here, another exhibit that captures the heart at first sight. The exquisite carving and the richness of the content are astonishing. I walked around it again and again, feeling overwhelmed by the amount of detail. 📷📷📷📷 This is a Liao Dynasty stone coffin unearthed in the Dongcheng District in the 1950s, which fully depicts the Nirvana of the Buddha on all four sides. The front shows the Nirvana scene, the right side shows the wrapping of the Buddha, the left side depicts the ascension and preaching, and the back shows the offerings at the golden altar. I personally don't know much about Buddhism, as its knowledge system is vast and complex. I am simply captivated by its beauty, unforgettable at first sight.
