Description
For many of us, "Zen" conjures up images of rock gardens and gently flowing waterfalls. We think of mindfulness and meditation, immersion in a state of being where meaning is found through simplicity. Zen lore has been absorbed by Western practitioners and pop culture alike, yet its artistic tradition hasn't been fully explored in the West. Now, American Zen master Loori presents a book that taps the principles of the Zen arts and aesthetic as a means to unlock creativity and find freedom. Loori dissolves the barriers between art and spirituality, opening up the possibility of meeting life with spontaneity, grace, and peace. Loori illuminates various elements that awaken our creativity, among them still point, simplicity, spontaneity, mystery, creative feedback, and art koans. Loori shows how these elements interpenetrate and function not only in art, but in all our endeavors.--From publisher description.
