If we concentrate on beauty and aesthetics as important elements of religious narratives, spiritual and liturgical practices we rediscover art and religious art as expression of encounters between believers and the Sacred, world and God, profan and holy, samsara and emptiness.
Art such can function as a hermeneutic bridge between religions and worldviews.
Culturally shaped concepts of beauty and aesthetics on the other hand May help to understand foreign religious experiences from within- at least to a certain extent.
Exemplarily this paper deals with the aesthetic concept of "circumperspective" . How to write about world from the perspective of that what surrounds us? How to linguistically and aesthically as well as philosophically and theologically set aside the standpoint of the human observer and give a poetical voice to non-human and non-sentient beings?
And could this eventually lead to a Buddhist-Christian aesthetics and philosophy of a world sanctified and beautiful?
