I’m no expert, but the understanding I have of Buddhist teaching is that what they shun is the desire for material things.  Desire leads to disappointment, anger and disillusionment.  They can’t be opposed to Art because Buddhists write books and create paintings.  Steven Seagal is supposedly a Buddhist and he makes action movies (or he used to).  They can’t be opposed to Music because there is music all around us in nature.  They can’t be opposed to friendships because they live in communities.
