This exhibition does ask the question: in what state our minds are when we make art and how much of the Truth is manifested from a troubled mind.
—Karen Armstrong from ‘Buddha’
Artists, poets and musicians can only become fully creative if they work from this inner core of peace and integrity. Once a person has learned to access this nucleus of calm, he or she is no longer driven by conflicting fears and desires, and is able to face pain, sorrow and grief with equanimity. An enlightened or awakened human being has discovered a strength within that comes from being correctly centered, beyond the reach of selfishness.
