On October 18th, the WMC Sunday Open House moves online, where we will watch Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche's first talk and calligraphy demonstration from the 1979 Visual Dharma seminar. Warner Dick and Emily Waters of the Chogyam Trungpa Digital Library will introduce the Library resource and the notion of dharma art generally, providing context for appreciating the talk, entitled "State of Mind."
The title reflects the fact that these dharma art teachings are not limited to the application of dharma to artistic creation. Indeed, Trungpa Rinpoche emphasizes the importance of artfulness in all aspects of everyday life, arising from the application of mindfulness-awareness to any activity.
"Awareness practice is not just sitting meditation or meditation-in-action alone. It is a unique training practice in how to behave as an inspired human being. That is what is meant by being an artist."
- Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, from Art in Everyday Life
