Description
“A crystal takes color of the cloth upon which it is placed, whether white, yellow, red, or black. Likewise, the people you spend your time with, whether their influence is good or bad, will make a huge difference to the direction your life and practice take.”
~H.H. Dilgo Kyentse Rinpoche ~
“Preserving the Sacred Art is always part of the preservation of Dharma.”
– Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche –
Sacred Art is an element of a spiritual path. For the artist, every day of his or her work should help him or her to progress a few steps further on such a path. For the other practitioners who see their art and benefit from it, sacked art is a support of meditation, a blessing and a visual representation that “liberates by seeing,” just as sacred music liberates through hearing, the blessing of a spiritual master liberates through touch, imbibing sacred substances liberates by taste, and meditation liberates by thought. ‘Liberate’ here means to liberate from the bondage of the five mental poisons which destroy inner peace – hatred, covetousness, ignorance, pride and jealousy.
– Matthieu Ricard –
