我觉得从人类历史上看，佛教跟艺术之间有密不可分的关系。因为佛教是很抽象、深奥的东西，那么通过艺术，无论是唐卡也好，还有我们的一些哲学、其他一些传统的艺术，包括现在人们比较重视的一些现代艺术，佛教当中最甚深的一些道理，就是可以通过艺术的方式来展现。所以不管是古代也好，现在也好，它们之间有很多的关系。
——索达吉堪布
我想现在的佛法，也特别需要适合现代人的心态的一种艺术方式来展现。这样一方面人们也是一种在享受当中可以感受佛法的微妙和它的一些奇特的本性。
我觉得很多接受艺术的人也好、接受佛教的人也好，他要有一种超越性的心态才可以接受的。一般的一些人，他们可能精神的层面窄一些，金钱和物质上面多一些，那么人有了一些高层次的境界的时候，他会追求他的信仰，他会追求艺术的品味，现在这样的人越来越多了，因为现在大家都知道，金钱也并不是代表一切快乐，而且它也不能满足永恒的心理。因此我觉得现在通过艺术的方式来展现佛法的魅力，非常有必要。
因为前辈的一些大德当中，他们真正认识觉醒的时候，也是用一种艺术的方式，包括藏地也有、汉地也有，很多大德出生在艺术家庭当中，他自己的职业也跟艺术有直接的关系，而且他当时的开悟也是跟艺术的一些表示和它的一些方法有关系的。
所以我想我们现在的艺术也是通过一些奇妙的、或者说是通过一些很甚深的道理来认识人们所追求的佛教当中最超越的这种心理。本来艺术也是用比较玄妙的方法来追求人们最高尚的一种境界，而佛教也是往往追求这样的精神领域。这个时候它通过一种，我们佛教里面讲是一种“表示方法”，其实艺术感越来越强的话，它是另一种表示方法，很难以解释的，是一种世俗谛来追求胜义谛，也是一种世间的法，它背后更深奥的一种道理，展现出来的话就是艺术当中也是最高的这种技术。

“我之绘画是为了通过艺术这一形式，去追寻自我存在于宇宙世界的意义。当人类因科学发明的日新月异感叹、骄傲时，殊不知其实质是将人类带上了走向毁灭的快车道。此时只有回归自然，回归人之本源才是唯一出路。也正是人类存在的意义所在。我之艺术是为了通过绘画形式，通过追求美的历程把社会属性的心回归到自然属性的心，去体悟宇宙之精神。体悟神性、佛性的存在；而与之交融，合为一体；体悟存在的意义和道的永恒。我之艺术是探索美的根本，使宇宙、自然之原始的美能在人类视觉中呈显；人是宇宙、自然的部分，人心即宇宙心、自然心。放弃所有思想，抛开一切观念，打开心门，让宇宙之光芒照耀心田。
My art wants to pursue my meaning in universe through painting. When human are amazed by and proud of rapid changes brought by scientific invention, they fail to aware that it brings human to the fast lane of ruin. At such a time, returning to nature and the human origin is the only way out, which is also the meaning for human existence. My art wants to return the heart with social property to the heart with natural property, feel the universe spirits through pursuing beauty by painting. My art wants to feel the existence of divinity and Buddhata, integrate with them, and feel the meaning of existence and the eternity of Taoism. My art wants to explore the nature of beauty through painting, and make the original beauty of universe and nature present in the vision of human. Human is just a part of universe and nature, human heart is the heart of universe and the heart of nature. My art abandons all thoughts and all concepts, but open the heart and let the light of universe brighten the heart.
我之艺术，没有思想，没有形式。作画时看不到色彩，摸不着画布，是自心觉性而舞。我之作品不是绘画，是我在宇宙中呼吸时留下的气息。” （朱神光自述）My art has no thoughts, no form. When I create, I see no color, and touch no canvas, but just my heart dances. My works are not paintings, but just the smell I left when I breathe in the universe. (Zhu Shenguang’s self narration).
