Art as a Spiritual Expression: art is a divine thread woven into the tapestry of religious and philosophical traditions. From the delicate brushstrokes of thangka paintings to the meticulous geometry of mandalas, artistic creation is a portal to the divine. In this column, Rebecca is on a constant journey to unravel the profound significance of art within Buddhism and beyond. Through her travels and encounters with artists, masters, and more, she deciphers hidden codes, exploring the intricate intersections of ritual, symbolism, and artistic expression.
