Art of Being
- 8 Days Chinese Calligraphy, Chinese Painting From Initiation to Creation Temple Retreat
"The distinction between the subjective and the objective art is basically based on meditation.
Anything that comes out of the mind will remain subjective art,
and anything that comes out of no-mind, out of silence, out of meditation, will be objective art.
This definition is simple and will destroy your confusion.
Whether you are creating something
– you may be a sculptor, you may be a carpenter, you may be a painter, a poet, a singer, a musician
– all that has to be remembered is that it is coming out of a silence within you, that it has a spontaneity.
It is not prearranged,
preprogrammed,
pre-thought.
As you are creating something you go on being surprised yourself
– you have left yourself in the hands of existence."
Length: 8 days, 7 night
Location: Jianzhe
