Dharma 

In our modern society, we live in a globally interconnected world, facing a multitude of international challenges as members of this shared planet. Climate change-induced natural disasters, international conflicts and inequality, and global pandemics deeply impact our daily lives, posing issues that require a unified human response. 

Buddha’s teachings extend beyond individual enlightenment, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all beings. This perspective reminds us that the global phenomena we experience affect individuals, communities, nature, and the world at large. Moreover, it underscores the significance of an ethical life, guiding individuals to recognize how their consumption and actions impact society and the environment, thereby encouraging sustainable and conscientious choices. 

I believe that this Buddhist message holds universal relevance beyond any specific religion. In response, I gathered diverse images from across society to visually represent the universal value within Buddha’s teachings. I hope this project contributes to reducing conflict and strengthening social solidarity. Through empathy and communication, this message reveals answers found in compassion, the Middle Path, meditation, self-reflection, and karma. These teachings hold truths that transcend specific cultures or historical contexts, offering wisdom that applies universally across times and regions. Centered on this universality, I sought to blend Buddhism’s essence with a broader visual language.
