CREATION OF THE COMPASSION PEACE MANDALA RARE ART RETREAT & EMPOWERMENT OCT 20 MARIN

aquamarinedreamqueen — Sun, 07 Oct 2007 12:23:10 GMT

A Benefit Workshop with Bhutanese Thangka Artist Lama Pema Tendzin

This is a beautiful and rare opportunity to learn the ancient art of traditional sacred thangka painting from a master artist and lineage holder. Lama Pema Tendzin has paintings in permanent and private collections throughout the United States including the San Francisco Asian art museum. Additionally he has had the honor of creating beautiful ceremonial thankas for the Dalai Lama.

Lama Pema Tendzin began studying the sacred art of thangka under the tutelage of his teacher Buli Tulku Rinpoche since he was six years old. More than paintings, thangkas are potent tools for meditation, contemplation and transformation.

For this special workshop, Lama Pema Tendzin will be leading us in the creation of the Compassion Peace Mandala. The day opens with meditation, mantra and prayers.

We will then draw and paint the mandalas together under this master artist's tutelage. When the painting is completed Lama Pema and Tsewong Sitar Rimpoche will lead us in a mantra, prayer and blessing to activate the mandala. This workshop gives participants active creative time with these very special beings in the creation of a potent piece of art that will Benefit all Beings.

A SPECIAL BENEFIT:

All proceeds from this event will go towards a special painting of Guru Rimpoche Padmasambhva. This painting measuring 30 feet high by 25 feet high will be placed on the mountainside next to the Sangye Tang monastery in Bhutan.

Guru Rimpoche Padmasambhava is recognized as the principle teacher to bring Buddhism to Tibet in the 8th Century. The painting, which will be completed in February of 2008, was revealed in a vision to Lama Pema's brother Tsewong Sitar Rinpoche. Tsewong Sitar Rimpoche is the head of Sangye Tang monastery in Eastern Bhutan. Founded in the late 1500's, this monastery is in view of one of Padmasambhava's sacred pilgrimage sites. The painting will promote blessings, peace and rejuvenation.

Details:

Cost: $60.00 (Payment can be made in advance by check or by check or cash at the door).

Date: October 20th, 2007

Ideas for a Contemporary Morality Story / Fine Art Photo Shoot

archetypalimage — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 21:45:25 GMT

I need your help - your brainstormed ideas . . .

I am starting to organize a story that is a morality play or sorts for my 6 year old Godson, whom I coparent. It will include a yound man setting off in the world and encountering archetypal beings and situations that engage him and end up teaching him somthing essential about living a fulfilling life. the main character will be discussing these situations and beings with a wise person from time to time. I am an artist. You can see some of my work on my profile pics. I will be doing a photo shoot (B&W infrareds) for every chapter in the story. I will be compiling the story and images into a small, hand bound book. I'l make about 100 editions of the book.

What I need help on is the story:
* What do you think the most important things are to learn and integrate to live a fulfilling life?
* What are the best ways to deal with disapointment and loss, with death?
* What are the most essential archetypal situations that teach us the most about living a fulfilling life?
* What archetypal characters teach us the most about living a connected, passionate, and loving life?
* What situations would you create to teach the main Character the foundations of a connected, passionate, and loving life?

Any ideas will be most appreciated.

Spiritually Informed Perspectives for Treating the Subjects of Films and Videos

Patrick Harvard — Thu, 03 May 2007 06:32:20 GMT

To those who join this film collective, I encourage you to create projects about subjects that YOU love, in ways that allow you to express your joy and passion for them.

While, in making media projects, I encourage everyone to follow their personal passions and internal wisdom, I would like to offer these unorthodox perspectives for seeing and describing people and situations.

- With the aim of revealing and expressing the Truth that awakens understanding and peace among peoples who have imagined themselves to be enemies.

………here is a hypothetical media story on bringing peace to people engaged in CIVIL WAR: Rather than describe the harsh conditions of ongoing civil wars around the world, we describe, through specific historical examples, how war transformed into peace in South Africa and in Northern Ireland. In doing so, we offer insight to peoples currently engaged in war, such as Israelis and Palestinians

………here is a hypothetical media story on THE INVASION AND OCCUPATION OF IRAQ: For people who hold to political points-of-view, some might believe that the invasion of Iraq was an atrocity and an international war crime. Others would believe that it was a police action that needed to be taken. When these two points of view collide, a secondary conflict arises between those who battle to end the war and those who battle to continue it. Seeing the situation from heart-centered wisdom, what we see most prominently is that people are suffering and that all people on all sides are doing the best they can to defend themselves and survive. In the midst of war, it is through building bridges of friendship understanding and trust that peace is restored.
--------------
The untold story of the American invasion of Iraq is one of love and friendship. Despite the war and its politics, open-hearted people in Iraq, Americans and Iraqis, are forging alliances. Americans and Iraqis are falling in love with each other. Iraqis and Americans, who were once strangers, are becoming lifelong friends. Some are marrying and having children. Others are developing business and cultural alliances. As happened with Germany, Japan and Viet Nam, years from now, the people of Iraq and the United States, as nations and as individuals, will be at peace. At that time, they will have a far more intimate relationship with each other than they had before the US invasion and occupation. A media project could be made to document the friendships, love affairs, business partnerships and cultural exchanges that are presently taking form among Iraqis and Americans. It could even be argued that, from the perspective of the evolution of human consciousness, war, being among the most intimate of human experiences, eventually brings nations, peoples and races together.

- Our media projects will reveal and express that every so-called problem or catastrophe, when seen creatively, is an opportunity for innovative solutions and cooperative interaction.

……… here is a hypothetical media story on ENERGY AND THE ENVIRONMENT:
As the world's supply of oil diminishes, rather than focusing on doomsday scenarios and pointing the finger of blame, we describe how the age of dirty hydrocarbon fuels is coming to an end. We document the emergence of inexpensive, non-polluting energy resources. We demonstrate the possibility of a healthier biosphere, a more stable world economy and a more peaceful political environment to come.

- In depicting our fellow humans, we aim not to express pity for those whom society calls “less fortunate.” To do so is to fail to see the perfection of each person and the perfection of each person’s life. To pity is to create the misunderstanding that our interdependency is unnatural and undesirable. To pity is to create fear within ourselves that someday we will be seen as “pitiful.”

……… taken from my own life experience, here are some hypothetical media stories on “PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY DISABLED PEOPLE”

=======================

1.) THE PHYSICALLY DISABLED -- In her youth, my friend Grace was a world-class athlete. Over the years, she has acquired a condition that has been diagnosed as Parkinson’s Disease. In contrast to her former physical strength and coordination, the movements of Grace’s body might be described as being out of her control. She can no longer walk without help. It takes focused listening for anyone to understand her speech. Judging Grace’s situation from afar, some people might think, “Thank goodness that’s not me.” Projecting their own fear, and ignorant of Grace’s inner experience, these distant onlookers do not understand that she is a person who is witty and light-hearted and grateful for her life as it is. Grace sees no problem with her life. With each increase in her physical disablement, life has gifted her with a commensurate amount of inner joy and peace with which to accept and embrace her circumstances. I used to take Grace out dancing. I would hold her tightly so she wouldn’t fall. She would dance and flirt with me and have as much fun as any of my other dance partners. Grace does not need our pity. Like all of us, she needs loving “interdependence,” meaning that, for all that others do to help her navigate her world, Grace returns the priceless gift of her joyous presence and her passionate embrace of life. The life of educator Helen Keller and of world-renowned theoretical physicist, Steven Hawkings, are other prominent examples of the phenomenon of Life bringing us inner brilliance to compensate for our outer “disablement.”
========================

2.) THE MENTALLY RETARDED -- I have come to see that those people whom we call "mentally retarded" are not retarded at all. I am not being kind or glossing over in my assessment. In the Divine plan, the mentally retarded are among the wisest beings among us and they have much to teach us. Because they live with their attention fully in the present, without the illusions of strongly defended egos and beliefs, they do not trouble themselves with suffering judgments and second-guessing of the imaginary past or by delusional projections into an unreal future that will never come. In living with their attention fully in the present (the only reality that is), they experience fully their peaceful, joyous connection to Life. Like very young children, the mentally retarded are the most honest and unconditionally loving people we meet. Without having many “utilitarian skills," they live simple gracious lives among friends and family who love them generously and who grieve for them when they die. Narrative films like “Being There” and “Forest Gump” capture the truth of their beautiful reality. These films demonstrate to mentally developed people, “the spiritually retarded” the value of being present to love, sincerity, humility and compassion. They also highlight how the wisdom and intuition of the heart unerringly point us down a beneficent life path.
========================

When we open our hearts to meet people’s in their lives, we see that our fears and judgments are illusion. Uplifting and insightful accounts of people and their lives can be told about the:

- Imprisoned or Enslaved (freedom is a state of mind)
- Impoverished & Homeless (the experience of abundance comes in many forms besides money)
- Insane (Until we understand our true nature, we are all insane)
- War-torn (Some people live rich peaceful lives in the midst of war)

- Despite our historical mythology about how prison, impoverishment, slavery and war are horrible experiences to be feared and avoided at all cost, we document a different perspective. We describe the lives of people who, by accepting and embracing their circumstances, live beautiful, inspiring, love-filled lives. (For example, to name just a few, consider the inspiring prison experiences of Nelson Mandela of South Africa and American Robert Franklin Stroud, known as the Birdman of Alcatraz).

- Similarly, when we look deeply at the inner experience of the rich, famous and powerful, we see that their life circumstances offer no more enduring happiness than the lives of the typical person. We see that, without understanding our true nature, our striving for material success, leaves us unfulfilled. We illustrate that without love, generosity and inner peace, the experience of worldly success is hollow and unsatisfying. I do not mean to suggest here that we need to renounce success or it’s rewards, but only that, while success may provide material comfort, it does not provide the radiant bliss of spiritual enlightenment and unconditional love of life that our hearts wisely seek.

- We aim to depict all people as Divinely created beings, knowing that we all play perfectly our intended parts in the human tapestry.

- We depict animals and plants with respect, for the Universe and all its life forms are the embodiment of Divinity.

– Instead of depicting illness and death as tragedies to be dreaded and avoided, we look deeper into the nature of health and the body’s mortality. We show how illness offers opportunities to gain clarity, wisdom and insight. We understand that for new life to arise into form, old life and old life forms must pass away. We question the idea, often advocated in medicine, that human bodies should be preserved for as long as possible, far into decrepitude. We explore the possibility that death is a beautiful experience and that the body has the wisdom to know when it is time to die. In this understanding, we are not rejecting health and medicine, but accepting that death is inevitable and beneficial in the grand scheme of life.

- Whether or not something is a biological life form or not, we understand that all forms of matter and energy are alive, have consciousness and are intimately connected to the Whole.

CRUISE THE MED WITH DOCUMENTARY FILM CO-OP

panache — Fri, 17 Nov 2006 02:09:48 GMT

Wonderful tribe, Patrick!
Beginning in March next year, we are inviting 9 people to cruise from Bodrum, Turkey along the Turkish coast, Cyprus, Athens, Alexandria on a share expenses basis (very, very inexpensive). We began a documentary in Paris and Turkey last year, and now as it gets warmer in Turkey we are going to complete it. We have a US distributor, and everyone involved will share in profits. It could be quite profitable for you and a real life changer. We are in pre-production of three others...one on black jazz in Paris after WWII until now. We have a Turkish captain/crew/cook on our 70' Gulet, 6 double staterooms still available, all with their own head (toilet and shower). Qualifications? Simply to be able to get along with people. Age? Our producer is 60, our editor is 25. Age inmaterial if you are young in spirit. If you have video experience (HD MiniDV PAL and Final Cut Pro, writing) all the better, but we are doing this to perhaps expand the focus of our documentary which is based on the mystical aspects of Alexander the Great - Title: Force of Evidence. Creative people get free reign as long as they don't sink the ship or the project. We are interested to add some human interest...profound, provocative, funny...to the program, so film making experience in not a requirement. Come for a week or two months. Email me for details.
