The decoration of the Karmapa's temple, which has been underway now for several years, requires the development of a project combining the Dharma with visual expression.

In order to create an authentic spiritual art form which corresponds to the integration of the Buddha's teachings in the West, we must draw on the tradition's original sources. The motivating force behind this project is the need for visual practice supports.

For an authentic transmission of traditional art it is necessary to go back to the origins and ensure that art's special living quality is preserved.
