Lesya Ukrainka Street
''Lesya'', according to the Jain theory of karma, is the coloring of the soul on account of its association with the karmic matter. The colour of ''leśyā'' varies from person to person depending on the psychic states and mental activities behind an action. The coloring of the soul is explained through the analogy of crystal, that acquires the color of the matter associated with it. In the same way, the soul reflects the qualities of colour, taste, smell and touch of associated karmic matter, although it is usually the colour that is referred to when discussing the ''leśyās.'' Paul Dundas notes the key text expressing this Jain doctrine, explaining how the literary form of the text is helpful in dating and reconstructing the history of transmission. A full statement of the theory of ''lesya'' occurs in chapter 34 of the Uttaradhyayana, one of the fundamental ''sutras'' of the scriptural canon. Inspection of the metrical structure there, which consists of a cluster of old '' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Impressionism was a 19th-century art movement characterized by relatively small, thin, yet visible brush strokes, open Composition (visual arts), composition, emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the effects of the passage of time), ordinary subject matter, unusual visual angles, and inclusion of movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience.
