Come meet Paula Arai, Associate Professor of Buddhist Studies at LSU, when she presents her new book, PAINTING ENLIGHTENMENT: Healing Visions of the Heart Sutra, a fascinating study of the life and work of Iwasaki Tsuneo, a Japanese artist who combined his career knowledge as a biologist with his spiritual insights as a Buddhist practitioner to create breathtaking paintings. His trademark motif is the use of the Japanese characters of the Heart Sutra, an important Buddhist text, to create images of natural phenomena ranging from landscapes to DNA strands and entire galaxies. Paula Arai’s book is at once a full-color display of Tsuneo’s paintings, an overview of his life and career, and a commentary on the Buddhist and scientific themes in his work.
