The tension between contemporary Tibetan individualism and the community focused creative arts of the past is a struggle Christianity continues to struggle with. This tension is an inspiring part of spiritual growth racially when you can witness it in the safe-houses of art museums where censorship is not an issue, or at least much, much less an issue.
That is the good idea to explore the spirituality through this Tibeaten artwork exhibition as you shared here. I really impressed by this creativity.
