I have a lot I should be putting up here. I will do so soon. Especially about Trungpa Rinpoche's Dharma Art teachings. They are what drew me in to 'all this', and I've been exploring them even more recently.
IAGW, to be continued.....

I like this topic. I love art, both making it and viewing it. In some ways, to me, dharma art and art are one and the same. What I mean is, when you are creating art, I think you naturally enter a space of complete awareness and presence.
Beth- You may already be a winner. :) Yes, to create a work of art properly, you -have- to essentially touch in to shunyata (or "emptiness-fullness", to use my favorite translation). Otherwise, if you are just throwing some stuff together or, even worse, doing something thinking mostly about how others will react to it and think of you after you finish it, then it will, more likely than not, not exactly be a masterpiece. I am gonna have to go more into this topic soon...:)
