It's only hard if someone is attached to hair. Buddhist monks & nuns have to shave the head, it shows they have renounced the householders life, and now leading a life of purity and monasticism.
The ground rules for traditional painting is recorded in chitrasutra of vishnudharmottara purana. Surface preparation, brush making, Pigment making... Everything is mentioned in it. All the traditional Indian art forms, be it painting or sculpting, have netronmeelanam (eye opening) as its last part of painting. This is done by your acharya (master painter). This gives life to the painting or a sculpture.
as a buddhist, i'm glad christianity gained a foothold in korea. it would have been nearly impossible to reform traditional korea into a more equal society without the mass fanaticism of evangelists. truth needs no adherents, but to effect the salvation of all beings requires skillful means. in that sense, i see korean christianity as an emanation of the sages. korean buddhism may be small, but notice that it's more vibrant than japanese buddhism, which is omnipresent, yet necrotic.
well done...at last i saw a good Korean . I give me the impression that Buddhism in Korea is so impressive and deep-rooted. The mad, extremist ,loud,evangelistic,annoying and deculturalised Christian Koreans contrast so deeply the serenity of Korean Buddhism.
Even though North Korea is an atheist country, it is not so harsh towards Buddhism. Buddhism is seen as something Korean, unlike Christianity which is semitic and brought by the Americans. Christianity thrives in today SKorea because of the fervent and very aggressive evangelical Christanity proselytisation. Using many tactics and strategies, this works because Korea is changing rapidly towards a modern society and increasing westernised.It is similar to Singapore in many ways.
those crazy christians are not following Jesus' teachings, he was not teaching hate, Jesus was teaching love and kindness, and in Luke 17:21(22) is written that God is within you, the same as Buddha taught.
