Art can Help to Heal III

I love doing photography too because the result comes out much faster and is more direct than painting. Also, it helps me memorize the beauty of nature, the difference of cultures and the variety of religions I have seen.  It is such a rewarding way to gain knowledge and wisdom to inspire me creating art (don't need worry about other's copy rights either ;-) ).  It helps me to understand others better, meditate and discover my deeper self through all the wonderful subjects.


"Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without." - Buddha



"Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared." - Buddha


"Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life." - Buddha 


"In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true." - Buddha



"You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection." - Buddha

I also designed three other Healing Trilogy series: Dream, Peace, Hope, can be viewed in my Gallery of Icon or Photography - Healing or Religiosity at:  http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/xueling-zou.html?tab=artworkgalleries&artworkgalleryid=114628
