Dipankara Jataka (The Story of the Ascetic Megha and the Buddha Dipankara)

Dipankara Jataka (The Story of the Ascetic Megha and the Buddha Dipankara). Culture: Pakistan (ancient region of Gandhara, Swat Valley). Dimensions: H. 8 3/4 in. (22.2 cm); W. 8 3/8 in. (21.3 cm); D. 1 1/2 in. (3.8 cm). Date: ca. 2nd century. In this panel the ascetic Megha (the Buddha Shakyamuni in a past life) appears three times: first, standing before the Buddha Dipankara throwing flowers; second, prostrate before the Buddha spreading his matted locks over mud; and third, flying in the upper left of the panel in a gesture of veneration. This story is the critical beginning of the Gandharan narrative cycle, as the Buddha Dipankara predicts that in a future life Megha will reach enlightenment and become the Buddha Shakyamuni.
