The Buddhist Layman Vimalakirti, 18th century, Hakuin Ekaku, Japanese, 1685 - 1769, 50 x 21 3/8 in. (127 x 54.29 cm) (image)87 1/2 x 27 5/16 in. (222.25 x 69.37 cm) (without roller), Ink on paper, Japan, 18th century, This painting shows an aged man known as Vimalakirti, who is featured in the Vimalakirti Nirdesa Sutra, a Buddhist scripture that explains the key Buddhist concept of sunyata, or emptiness. According to the sutra, Vimalakirti was a wealthy and very wise lay practitioner of Buddhism in India who lived at the same time as the historical Buddha. He had fallen ill, so the Buddha asked numerous followers to visit him, but all declined. Finally, the deity Manjusri agreed to visit Vimalakirti at his home, where the two engaged in an important philosophical debate. The influential Zen priest Hakuin Ekaku is credited with reviving the Rinzai sect of Zen by refocusing the tradition on spiritual exercises such as meditation and koan practice (the use of paradoxical riddles).

Palestine is a name given to the geographic region between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. The region is also known as the Land of Israel, the Holy Land and the Southern Levant. In 1832 Palestine was conquered by Muhammad Ali's Egypt, but in 1840 Britain intervened and returned control of the Levant to the Ottomans in return for further capitulations. The end of the 19th century saw the beginning of Zionist immigration and the Revival of the Hebrew language. The movement was publicly supported by Great Britain during World War I with the Balfour Declaration of 1917.

In 1947, following World War II and the Holocaust, the British Government announced their desire to terminate the Mandate, and the United Nations General Assembly voted to partition the territory into a Jewish state and an Arab state.
