The purpose of this study was to explore what researchers experienced in the process of self-work through Buddha drawing and what the meaning of the experience was. To this end, narrative inquiry was used as a research method since this approach allowed the researchers to authentically reveal the stories of their experiences. The research data were gathered by various expression methods, such as drawing the images of Buddha, art making, and writing autobiographical journals. The research period was a total of 8 months from March to December 2022, and the research consisted of meditation and painting work during the art therapist's meditation practice. Data were analyzed by a narative research method based on a three-dimensional narrative space including temporality, sociality, and place. The experience stories of the researchers were identified as follows: ‘The first time I met the Buddha’, ‘Sabul contains my joys and sorrows,’ ‘I am overwhelmed with emotion,’ and ‘Sabul embraces my heart.’ The meanings of Buddha drawing practice were as follows: First, Buddha drawing practice was essentially the process of experiencing things as they were. Second, the line and mind of the Four Buddhas were joined as the hip. Third, it expanded consciousness and enabled to be aware of self. Fourth, it allow to discover the value of relationships. Based on the study results described above, the implications and significance of this study as well as its limitations were discussed.
