Hello. You did not present the source 2 to which your question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, when searching for your question on the internet, I was able to find another question exactly the same as yours, which showed that source 2 featured two different Buddha statues, one made in Japan and one made in China. If that's your case, I hope the answer below can help you.
Answer:
The statues show how Buddhism was influenced by different cultures in different regions of Asia.
Explanation:
According to source 2, we can see how the Buddha statue made in Japan is different from the one presented in China. If we look for more Buddha statues in other regions of Asia, such as Thailand, for example, we will see a statue different from that presented in China and Japan. This shows us that Buddhism was highly influenced and adapted to different cultures, in different regions, where each country adopted the Buddhist religion, adapting it to cultural concepts and local beliefs.
