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.   + -- Thinley Norbu, from "Magic Dance: The Display of the Self-Nature of the + Five Wisdom Dakinis", published by Shambhala Publications -- 2.34.1
