This document summarizes and analyzes the poem "Bamiyan Buddha" by Pravin Gadhvi. It discusses how in the poem, the Buddha leaves behind pleasures of life, wine, and mountains to free himself from the cycle of birth and death and become formless. However, the poem notes that those who chisel and decorate Buddha's statues with gold, and those who destroy them, are both blind by birth to his true message.
