During the Tang and Song dynasties, Buddhist paintings on bodhi leaves had long disappeared; today’s collections consist solely of Qing dynasty works. The number of such albums passed down through generations is limited. First, bodhi leaves were only produced in Guangzhou or the Qing imperial court, making them difficult to obtain. Second, the painting medium is organic material, and very few have survived to this day. Third, most of these paintings were stored in palaces, noble residences, or monasteries. After wars, many surviving pieces were lost overseas, and fine examples are rare in China.
According to my incomplete statistics, there are currently seven overseas institutions that hold collections of bodhi leaf Arhat paintings or individual works: the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, the Yale University Art Gallery, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the British Library, the National Library of Australia, the National Library of Denmark, and the National Museum of Japan in Kyoto. In addition to the Forbidden City, Cishan Temple in Taiwan also possesses one such book, acquired by the public. In China, nine museums hold complete albums or individual pieces of this type. Besides the Beijing Palace Museum, these include the National Library of China, the Beijing Art Museum, Hebei University, Hunan Museum, and Tieling Museum. Some renowned temples, such as Lingyin Temple, Manjusri Collection, and Xiantong Temple on Mount Wutai, have also preserved these works; Lingyin Temple alone houses 22 paintings of the "Three Jewels of the Dharma."
