Uncovering Contemplative Creativity
Tashi Mannox · 109 minutes · recorded October 12, 2022
Creativity as a contemplative practice, and the responsibility Tashi Mannox gives artists to lift people rather than pour out their angst. He describes the sacred proportions behind thangka painting and Tibetan calligraphy, and breaks creativity into three parts: energy, playfulness and ornament. Copying crumbling manuscripts during a four year retreat taught him that whatever was unresolved in his mind showed up in the line, so meditation comes first. Questions cover learning without a teacher.
Relying on his own vast experience as a master of Tibetan calligraphy and a Buddhist contemplative, Tashi Mannox explores the topic of creativity inherently present in our own mind. Hosted by the Contemplative Consciousness Network.
