Truth and Art Every cultural system has its own qualitative hierarchy. When we want to make an offering of a Buddhist figurine, we nowadays tend to select one that wears a solemn expression, in preference to the mass-produced big-bellied monk figure that can be picked up at roadside stands everywhere.
道藝雙修任何文化的建構，都有其內在的生命位階，今天，我們想要供養一個佛像，也會要挑法相莊嚴的，而非一般路邊那種大量複製的大肚和尚。
