Description
Beginning in the early seventies at what is now Naropa University, Chogyam Trungpa presented a number of seminars on art and the creative process. An artist himself in many media--poetry, writing, flower arranging, design painting, and calligraphy--he emphasized nonaggression as the ground of art, developing two approaches: visual dharma and dharma art.
In this 1978 seminar given at Naropa University, Trungpa Rinpoche talks about the artist's state of mind and how to bring the view of basic goodness to art's practice and appreciation. To illustrate his approach, he demonstrates calligraphy, arranges flowers and objects, reads and talks about poetry, and shows slides from both Western and Asian art. Included in the audience are poet Allen Ginsberg and many other artists, whose interchanges with Rinpoche are captured here. Special features include demonstrations and discussions of dharma art from earlier seminars.
