metadata.value: The article examines the caves of Dunhuang and Yulin — world famous Buddhist complexes.
  The tradition of cave temples with wall paintings and sculpture came from India. The Dunhuang
  and Yulin caves were decorated in this manner. The highest peak in the development
  of Dunhuang art falls on the period of the Tang Dynasty (618-907), it was at this time that
  numerous murals appeared depicting the Pure Land of Buddha Amitabha, the Lord of the
  West, where the souls of the righteous dwell, the Pure Land of Buddha of healing Bhaishajyaguru
  and other subjects. The main source for the creation of works of art in Dunhuang was
  Chinese Buddhism, which was formed under the influence of local cults and beliefs and was
  reflected in the sutras. A certain influence on the painting of Dunhuang was exerted by the
  art of the cave complexes of the Great Silk Road, and later by the artistic and iconographic
  traditions of the Tanguts and Mongols. The findings from Dunhuang in the collection of the
  State Hermitage Museum includes three hundred items. In 1914–1915, the Second Russian
  Turkestan Expedition under the leadership of academician S. F. Oldenburg worked there and
  brought these artifacts back. In addition, the expedition acquired a large number of manuscripts
  in Sanskrit, Chinese, Uyghur, Sogdian, Tibetan and Tangut. Currently, these priceless
  monuments are kept at the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts in St. Petersburg. The Dunhuang
  and Yulin cave complexes are a monument of world culture in terms of their size, quantity and
  quality of paintings, as well as in the variety of subjects, which constitute an encyclopedia of
  Buddhism in pictorial and sculptural images.
