At a time when my own interest in Buddhist Art is growing, I am witnessing the competition for such works to be fast out-pacing the incomes of even wealthy Americans as the Chinese are re-asserting their rightful place as caretakers of the religious art of Buddhism. This spark of interest by wealthy Chinese is remarkable, especially for a largely Atheist nation. Perhaps the collecting trend reflects a re-awakening of their spiritual selves, and perhaps it simply is a collectors zeal to own what others cannot. I prefer to consider it as the former---a resurrengce in the passion for the spiritual path of Buddhism.
