dc.description.abstract |
Bodhisattva philosophy is a relatively popular aspect of Buddhism and there are
few in-depth studies of it. Among many bodhisattvas in Buddhism,
Avalokitesvara bodhisattva is considered as the most popular bodhisattva in
China, although not that much, the concept of Avalokitesvara in Sri Lanka is also
sacred in the name of Lord Nath. The Bodhisattva concept of the two countries,
the cultural background of the Bodhisattva history, the related cultural
background and physical characteristics have been introduced, and their
similarities and differences in the two countries have been analyzed
comparatively. The descriptive research method has been used mainly using
secondary data sources and primary data has also been included in this thesis. It
is evident that the socio-cultural backgrounds of the respective periods have had
a greater influence on the changes in the idol creation process of both countries
and it is clear that the conceptual expansion root has influenced the conceptual
similarities. In modern society, it is observed that there are very few beliefs about
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattavas, and many rituals are excluded, but the main
concept remains the same. |
