Kjo është një pikturë ekspresioniste me vaj mbi kanavacë, e cila paraqet një portret dramatik të një burri me një fashë të bardhë të njollosur me të kuqe mbi ballë. Përdorimi i ngjyrave dhe i furçave krijon një ndjesi tensioni dhe lëvizjeje, duke e bërë figurën të duket sikur është në mes të një ndjenje të fortë ose një…

De Energie van Creatie: Een Gedurfde Prestatie in de Figuratieve Kunst

In een open ruimte, omarmd door klassieke architectuur en natuurlijk licht, bereidt een kunstenaar zich voor om zijn ziel op het doek te leggen. Met verf aan zijn handen en kleding die de storm van creativiteit weerspiegelt, staat hij voor een groot canvas dat op de grond ligt uitgespreid. Dit is niet zomaar een schilderij, maar een manifest van artistieke…

"There is a misconception that Buddhism is a religion,

and that you worship Buddha.

Buddhism is a practice, like yoga.

You can be a Christian and practise Buddhism.

I met a Catholic priest who lives in

a Buddhist monastery in France.

He told me that Buddhism makes him

a better Christian. I love that."…

What is success? Do we think about this? There are powerful currents about success pulling us. Lacking mindfulness and awareness, these become default, following our unwritten education. Money, fame, pleasure, and wanting to be loved. Ralph Waldo Emerson had other ideas. He wrote about success, “… to win the affection of children … to…

Born in 1864, died in 1943—forgotten by the world, left to languish in a mental hospital.

What was her story?

She came to Paris to study art at a time when the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts was open only to men.

Undeterred, she joined studios that welcomed women.

There, she met and became the…

We are divine beings in a state of recovery,

re-discovering our divinity,

winning back ourselves from states of delusion.

However, the mind is very much a key player

in the drama called life, because without it,

the consciousness cannot experience

the necessary friction for transcendence to occur.

And transcendence…

Announcing the release of the new book Voice for the Voiceless: Decades of Struggle with China for My Land and My People will be available on March 11. “In my role as the Dalai Lama, there is no issue more important than what I describe in these pages. My hope is that the book will stimulate fresh thoughts and conversations today and…

Our life is short. Before we know it, we have moved on to a new life. That is why Buddhist monks and nuns turn their teacup over after a meal. We don’t know which will come first, the next cup of tea, or the next life! That is also why we meditate and contemplate impermanence. Panic is not necessary. It can be a pause to celebrate the time we have in this life and direct it towards meaning. We are good at wasting time. Remembering the fragility and limited…

Sometimes I think this life is too short for me,

When I think of all the things I want to do,

When I think of all the places I want to see,

When I think of all the people I want to love.

If I could have more eyes to see the world,

Or more ears to hear each song,

Or more hands to touch each…

Hildegard von Bingen, a 12th-century Benedictine abbess, mystic, composer, and polymath, left an extraordinary legacy in theology, music, and science. Among her achievements is "Liber Divinorum Operum" ("The Book of Divine Works"), a visionary text featuring a depiction of a spherical Earth experiencing different seasons…

Complete relaxation maintaining alertness has many levels. We can relax the body, while remaining alert, not falling asleep, while keeping the body still. We can relax our talking. This gives our jaw, tongue, and voice-box muscles a break. Here we enter the realm of silence. Even though vocally silent, our thinking mind may still be…

Earth teach me quiet ~ as the grasses are still with new light.

Let the earth have crocus skies and white shooting stars in the grass

Let the people and animals breathe out

I am not sure how or when I began my apprenticeship with sorrow.

I do know that it was my gateway back into the breathing and animate world.

It was through the dark waters of grief that I came to touch my unlived life...

There is some strange intimacy between grief and aliveness, some sacred exchange between what…
