Art and Architecture in Byzantium and Armenia: Liturgical and Exegetical Approaches // Thomas F. Mathews // Variorum, 1995, p. 208 Finally, while the clipeate oval is a plain feld, the mandorla is often bordered in concentric bands of color, especially red, white, and green, as in the Rabbula Gospel or in the Armenian frescoes of L.mbat and Talin.6! All of these features can be traced in early Buddhist art in Central Asia. Though the shape of the Buddhist aureole is variable-oval, circular, or flame-shaped--the Buddha in front of the aureole is always a full-length figure, whether standing or seated

Others were more lukewarm or critical. In the 1860s, secularist Mikayel Nalbandian was critical of, among other religions, Buddhism Nar Dos called Buddhism sensible and introspective, but argued that with its asceticism, it exhausts man to the point of self-destruction.

In the early 16th century, a young Kalmyk boy, likely originally a Buddhist, was purchased at a slave market by an Armenian merchant Mxit‘ar and converted to Christianity and given the name Astuacatur (God-given) Xat‘ayec‘i. He was tortured to death in 1519, aged 18, for refusing to apostatize, by the Muslim authorities of Bitlis, who considered him a Turk and therefore a Muslim. Grigoris, Catholicos of Aghtamar, wrote a verse martyrology for his mentor Grigor Vardapet on Astuacatur.

Armenia has no Buddhist places of worship. In 2012 the Yerevan Municipality tentatively proposed the construction of a tourist attraction near Dalma Garden Mall that would include a church, a mosque, a synagogue, and a Buddhist temple.

In 2024 Yerevan State University offered a course in Buddhist Discourse in Western Literature.
