YouTube - THE DALAI LAMA - ADVICE TO ARTISTS
We hope art can give hope, can raise spirits, can evoke
compassion from the depths of our own hearts, reaching
the eyes of all creatures, seeing each as our own brother,
our own sister, and love them as we love ourselves,
be them a mouse, an elephant, a dragonfly, a lion, a lamb.
We hope the artist becomes a better soul in pursuit of this.
We hope we can. We know we must try. We know what
will happen if we do not. What choice, now, do we have
other than to do our best, and leave the results to God?
Artists can bring awakening, awakening can bring hope,
and hope can bring action that saves lives, with faith that
even one person can make a difference. If we don't try,
who will?
"If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking"
by Emily Dickinson
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again
I shall not live in vain."
