+    All art is composed of subtle and gross elements.  There is no way for
+artists to express without elements.  When people use expressions such as hot-
+headed, cold-hearted, dry-humored, or all wet, it shows that they naturally
+connect subtle element temperaments with gross element expressions.  But
+artists must go beyond outwardly expressing the elements in an obvious way in
+order to gain experience with the inner subtle elements, which are the source
+of the outer gross elements.  Then they can make art which reflects what
+people need.
+    According to the Buddhist point of view, an artist’s intention is
+compassion.  Buddhist artists create in order to make a link with other beings
+through their inner pure elements, and to transform their outer ordinary gross
+elements into enlightenment by means of that connection.
