鑑於藝術中本覺之呈現、再現與表現在當前之重要性，某些東西方藝術家已有關注與探索此議題之趨勢，同時為增進藝術中精神性與美感經驗，有必要探析本覺之觀念與當代相關藝術家之理念與藝術。因此本文探討之目的包括：（一）闡釋本覺之觀念，以及藝術家本覺之呈現、再現與表現；（二）分析Morris Graves（1910－2001）、John Daido Loori（1931－2009）與Rupert Spira（1960－）之理念與藝術；以及（三）闡釋本覺在藝術創作與美感經驗之意涵。本文闡釋東西方哲學中關於本覺之觀念、藝術家回復本覺之方法、本覺之再現與表現模式以及其引發自他美感經驗之功能。據此本文對Graves、Loori與Spira之理念與藝術加以分析，且歸納其藝術特色。由此闡釋本覺之增進有助於藝術中精神性、藝術之轉化力、創造性與美感經驗等之提昇。

Recognizing the importance of the presence, representation, and expression of source consciousness, some Easten and Western artists have tended to be concerned with and explore the issue. For enhancing the spiritual in art and aesthetic experience, it is necessary to analyze conceptions of source consciousness, and investigate related contemporary artists' ideas and art. Therefore, the objectives of this article include: (a) to interpret the conceptions of source consciousness, as well as the presence, representation, and expression of the artist's source consciousness; (b) to analyze the ideas and art of Morris Graves (1910-2001), John Daido Loori (1931-2009), and Rupert Spira (1960-); and (c) to interpret the implications of source consciousness for art production and aesthetic experience. This article interprets the conceptions concerning source consciousness in the Eastern and Western philosophy, the methods for the artists to recover source consciousness, as well as the modes of representation and expression of source consciousness and their function to evoke aesthetic experience of self and others. Accordingly, the article analyzes the ideas and art of Graves, Loori, and Spira, and summaries their artistic features. Hence, it interprets that the enhancement of source consciousness is beneficial to elevating the spiritual in art, transformative force of art, creativity, and aesthetic experience.
