When a picture becomes a prayerA story of light and spirituality floating in a monastery Sister Jang Yo-se-pa Param Book “When I stand before a painting, my eyes become bright. Something clears from my dim eyes and I see things I couldn’t see before.
Paintings open up a mysterious world that my eyes couldn’t see because they were dark and my body was too heavy to enter. Paintings that express life, freedom, forgiveness, love, transcendental things, the inner self of humans, and religious things grab me and stand up. First, the artist’s life is melted into them, and when I go deeper, I experience something far away beyond the artist himself, something dim to the human eye, or reality, standing before us. This places humans in front of a transcendent reality much more strongly than a shallow religious experience. Furthermore, it opens up a world that we can’t even approach with formal worship or fixed, ups and downs prayers.” by excerpt book's description
