Buddhist inscriptions

Buddhist inscriptions are writings carved into surfaces like stone, metal, or wood, that convey spiritual teachings, prayers, or memorials. They often record important events, sacred principles, or verses from Buddhist scriptures, serving as a means to spread Buddha’s teachings and inspire practitioners. These inscriptions can be found on stupas, statues, or memorial tablets, acting as both religious symbols and educational tools. They reflect cultural values, religious devotion, and historical contexts, helping preserve Buddhist philosophy and history across generations in a tangible form accessible to communities.
