In the summer of 1957, the revered Buddhist teacher and scholar
Khenpo Gangshar foresaw the difficulties that would soon fall upon
Tibet and began teaching in a startling new way that enabled all
those who heard him to use the coming difficulties as the path of
Dharma practice. The teaching consisted of the essential points of
mahamudra and dzogchen, both view and practice, presented in a way
that made them easy for anyone to use, even in the most difficult
of circumstances.
"As the creative mind engages meditation practice, creativity flows and sensorial experience the basis for inspiration in art explodes in vivid display. In Place Your Thoughts Here, Steven Saitzyk describes how meditation enhances creativity and artistic process. With this capacity for fresh perception, we can see and experience our world and the art that captures it in ways that touch us profoundly. This leads us to genuine spontaneity and pure, unselfconscious expression. It also dissolves creative blockages, reveals the source of creativity, and offers a path toward the sublime through which we experience ecstatic feelings of union with ourselves, our process, and our art."
