Discovering Elegance
Presented in conjunction with the Dharma Art Seminar at San Francisco's Fort Mason September 19-27, Discovering Elegance presents the view that art is not a goal in itself, but instead a way of life, a way of disciplining and training the mind so that ordinary activities become a proclamation of beauty, dignity, and gentleness. Working with students of his traditional meditation discipline, Tibetan Lama Chogyam Trungpa creates an environment that presents the journey of awakened mind, and discusses the oriental principles of flower and object arrangement.
