The murals depict the Buddha\u2019s journey to awakening as a dazzling vision scripted by the brilliant scholar-monk Taranatha. The images immerse ordinary people in lively tales of the Buddha\u2019s encounters with royals, beggars, and merchants and correspond to the text methodically researched and composed by Taranatha, admirer of Indian Buddhist culture.&#8221;<\/p><cite>Quintman, Andrew and Kurtis R.
