| | New Georgia Encyclopedia: The Sacred Harp |
 | | The parts in shape-note singing are so distinct that traditional tune books like The Sacred Harp print them on separate staves, displaying what is called dispersed harmony. | | | Sacred Harp singing preserves traditional ways from earlier times but is also a living art form in which composers write new songs. | | | Since 1844 Sacred Harp singers have defined, nurtured, and passed along their art and their beliefs. |

| | Sacred geometry -- What Is It? |
| | Not everyone who catalogues and writes about sacred geometry considers geometry itself to be inherently spiritual; for some of us, sacred geometry is an adjunct to the study of archaeology, architecture, art history, comparative religion, anthropology, archaeoastronomy, or geometry itself. | | | To ignore spiritually oriented or even scientifically lunatic texts would be to ignore a vast part of the writing on the subject of sacred geometry and sacred architecture. | | | The term "sacred geometry" is used by archaeologists, anthropologists, and geometricians to encompass the religious, philosohical, and spiritual beliefs that have sprung up around geometry in various cultures during the course of human history. |

| | Tibetan art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Tibetan art is first and foremost a form of sacred art, reflecting the over-riding influence of Tibetan Buddhism on these cultures. | | | A common bodhisattva depicted in Tibetan art is the Gelugpa deity Chenrezig (Avalokitesvara), often portrayed as a thousand-armed saint with an eye in the middle of each hand, representing the all-seeing compassionate one who hears our requests. | | | Tibetan Buddhism, as an offspring of Mahayana Buddhism, inherited this tradition. |

| | SACRED MUSIC - by Janet E. Smith - Catholic Dossier - September/October 2000 |
| | Let us pray that future architects, artists, composers, and liturgists make pilgrimages to holy places and that they encounter beautiful music and art when they do, for then they may be prepared to present the faithful with the churches and liturgies truly envisioned by Vatican II. | | | Yes, the art, the history, the food, were splendid but it was music, a music that is familiar or should be to people from around the world that drew us out of our individual interests and had us as one focused on the divine, however briefly. | | | Many have long bemoaned the minimalism of modern church art and architecture, the banishment of all Latin and Latin music from the liturgy, the cocktail lounge or hootenanny music, the general slovenliness of the liturgy, the celebrants, the participants, none of which correspond to the directives of Sacrosanctum Concilium. |

| | "Were I called on to define, very briefly, the term Art, I should call it 'the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul.' The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of 'Artist.'" | | | "Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." | | | At least art involves a degree of human involvement -- through manual skills or thought -- as with the word "artificial," meaning made by humans instead of by nature. |

| | Color Symbolism In Buddhist Art |
| | It is one of the five sacred stones of the Tibetan Buddhists, and symbolizes the energy of life force. | | | The Buddhist Lord of karma (action), Amoghasiddhi, is also associated with this color, thus reiterating that green in Buddhist thought is the color of action. | | | The significance of the light shade is reflected in the supremacy of the semi-precious stone turquoise in the daily spiritual and religious life of the devout Buddhist, who holds various beliefs about this stone. |

| | Sacred Geometry |
| | Sacred geometry is the art, or perhaps the science, of imposing structure onto something that is inherently intangible. | | | Sun and moon icons brought circles into the realm of sacred geometry, predictably, as primitive pantheons expanded to include sun and sky gods. | | | In a rather shocking development, the onset of the scientific era in the 19th and 20th century uncovered numerous correspondences between the structures of sacred geometry and the new discoveries of science. |

| | Sacred Text |
| | Since choral music with a sacred text compromises such a substantial portion of the artistic repertoire representative of the choral medium and the history of music, it should have an important place in music education. | | | The term "sacred" refers to all manners of religious beliefs and not only to the practices of the Judeo-Christian teachings. | | | Such an exclusion has its parallel the study of art without any paintings related to the various religions of the world, the study of literature without mention of the bible, or the study of architecture without reference to the great temples and cathedrals of the world. |

| | The Mandala - Sacred Geometry and Art |
| | Mandalas are seen as sacred places which, by their very presence in the world, remind a viewer of the immanence of sanctity in the universe and its potential in himself. | | | Perhaps the most admired and discussed symbol of Buddhist religion and art is the mandala, a word which, like guru and yoga, has become part of the English language. | | | The universe was believed to originate from these hymns, whose sacred sounds contained the genetic patterns of beings and things, so there is already a clear sense of mandala as world-model. |
