One way to understand sacred art is that it emerges from and points to truth, expressing and inviting us into authenticity, beyond concepts and language, an authentic, true purity that lies at the core of who we are, and which we could perhaps say defines Mother Nature. Sacred art reflects the vision and experience of primordial purity. It might not be the personal discovery of the individual artist, but it can be part of a tradition, a lineage that carries a living heritage of inspiration. As such, reproducing sacred imagery is a homage to the truth of enlightenment. In the face of such art, the viewer is touched, and a dimension of greatness and truth is known. This force of experience, beyond language and concepts yet felt as truth, is what, in Buddhism, is known as 'blessing'. Hence, one would sometimes speak of a certain painting or sculpture as having 'blessing', as it opens and connects us to something true in ourselves. It resonates, feels real, sparks creativity, love, and a vision of value. Sacred art does this without cluttering our minds with ideas, concepts, or words. It sets us free.
