"Buddhism and art [...] are indispensable to a balanced spiritual life." Sanghrakshita, The Meaning of Buddhism and the Value of Art Developing the imagination and sensitivity for beauty is a key part of the spiritual path. Art can have a profound emotional impact and communicate the mystery of the Dharma to the depths of our being. It can be both the igniter and expression of our devotion.
