true perception


I'm excited to begin a journey through this book.
I  will be sharing more about it as I go.  I just read the intro, and there is already so much to think about. 

This is where it starts:
"In the term dharma art, the word dharma comes first. Dharma means "norm" or "truth." In the context of dharma art, dharma is, as Trungpa Rinposche refers to it, "the state before you lay your hand on your brush, your clay, your canvas - very basic, peaceful, and cool, free from neurosis." Art refers to all the activities of our life, including any artistic disciplines that we practice. It refers not only to the formal practice of art, but to the artistry of life itself - our whole being. In dharma art, these things are inseparably joined."


Yes.
