Ocean of Dharma Quotes of the Week

September 23, 2008

DHARMA ART

The basic sense of delight and spontaneity in a person who has opened 
fully and thoroughly to him or herself and  to life can provide 
wonderful rainbows and thundershowers and gusts of wind. We don't 
have to be tied down to the greasy-spoon world of well-meaning 
artists with their heavy-handed looks on their faces and overfed 
information in their brains. The basic idea of dharma art is the 
sense of peace and  the refreshing coolness of the absence of neurosis.


OF INTEREST TO READERS: A new edition of DHARMA ART, containing 
additional material and a new introduction and preface, will be 
published by Shambhala Publications in November 2008. The book will 
appear under a new title: TRUE PERCEPTION: THE PATH OF DHARMA ART. To
