A slide show of some recent paintings done 2015 - 2016 during the death of my mother. This talk covers the creative process with questions and answers from the writers and painters.
After a review of our previous practices with everyday views, we explore more subtle views, including, including the methods of the Buddha's Middle Way, Nagarjuna, and Zen.
This talk explores various facets around relinquishing the ways we are constantly seeking something different than what is actually here and by doinf so, missing the peace that is already here.
We continue to examine the nature of views and attachment to views, exploring the Buddha's pragmatic approach and working with an exercise to go more deeply into views, attachment to views, and what helps us be less attached to views.
