Буддийская религиозно-художественная целостность: диалектика традиции

Abstract

Using the example of Buddhist religious and artistic integrity, the article reveals the implicit dialectic of the tradition that asserts the meanings of the teachings of Buddhism and methods of conveying them in art. The tradition contributes to the consolidation of the corpus of Buddhist culture, preserving and clarifying the meanings of the teaching in the visual arts and the art of words. The significance of meanings and the high level of artistic skill are converted in the cultural forms of the countries of the Christian region, for example, in the works of French Impressionist artists and in Russian poetry. The dialectic of the tradition of Buddhist art is hidden in the skill of image detailing, laconism, decorativeness, symbolism and codification of elements — all this allowed us to reveal the complexity of the Buddhist worldview.
