"When we practice dharma art, there's a quality of freedom in the artistic process.  Our art becomes something we discover rather than create. When we see ourselves and the world as transitory, we begin to relax, to look at what is happening with curiosity about where it leads. We don't have to try so hard. We let go. Now the real artisan begins to come out."

"Then you might see something, which is second stage. The more you look the more inquisitive you are, the more you are bound to see.  Your looking process is not restrained because you are genuine, you are gentle, you have nothing to lose and nothing to fight against ... you can see so beautifully. In fact, you can feel the warm of red and the coolness of blue and the penetrating quality of green - all at once.  You appreciate the world around you.  It is a fantastic new discovery of the world.  You would like to explore the entire universe."

            Chogyam Trumpa Rinpoche, Shambhala Sacred Path of the Warrior
