3. These works were intended to spread Buddhism and they are of exceptional beauty and quality.

句型剖析
“are of exceptional beauty and quality”是“be of + 抽象名词”结构。
经典例句
First and foremost, since I plan to major in gardening in the university, having some practical knowledge ahead will be of great benefit.
首先，因为我计划在大学里主修园艺，所以有一些实践知识将会有很大的好处。
I do hope that these measures can be of help/be helpful to your Chinese study.
我确实希望这些措施对你的汉语学习有帮助。
联想拓展
(1) “be of + 抽象名词”相当于“be + 形容词”，这一结构可以说明主语的性质。常见的抽象名词有 importance, value, use, help, benefit, significance 等，这些名词可用 great, little, some, any, no, not, much 等修饰，用以说明程度。
(2) 介词 of 后面接一些表示人或物属性的名词，如 size, color, height, length, age, shape, quality 等，用来描述人或事物的属性，在句中作表语或后置定语。这些名词没有相应的形容词形式，因此不能用“be + 形容词”来代替“be + of + n.”。用在这些名词前的限定词常是 a, an, the, the same, my, your 等，of 表示“具有”，有时可省去。
