Character Building Through Art

By C. Jinarajadasa

Book Overview

""Character Building Through Art"" is a book written by C. Jinarajadasa that explores the relationship between art and character development. The author argues that art has the power to shape our values, attitudes, and behaviors, and that by engaging with art we can cultivate virtues such as empathy, compassion, and creativity. The book is structured around different art forms, including painting, sculpture, music, and literature, and provides examples of how each can be used to promote character building. Jinarajadasa draws on a range of philosophical and spiritual traditions, including Buddhism, Hinduism, and Theosophy, to support his arguments.
