Cohort I — 1:00-3:00 WSCHÓD
If you are able to relax—relax to a cloud by looking at it, relax to a drop of rain and experience its genuineness—you can see the unconditionality of reality…you experience a vast realm of perceptions unfolding…the realm of perception is limitless, so limitless that perception itself is primordial…there are endless fields of perception.
—Chogyam Trungpa, Shambhala Sacred Path of the Warrior
O kursie
This course works with our senses of both sight and insight—which leads to a different and fresh way of seeing and experiencing our world. So it is both a dharma practice and a contemplative art exploration.
The “clear seeing” you will experience as a part of this course opens up many realms of perception that we typically do not engage with in our daily life. We will explore some fields of perception such as flowers and weeds, the “ordinary world” and impressionism. We will contemplate how this “true perception way” has implications for more primordial insight and deep realization.
We will also contemplate some Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche texts from the books True Perception and Shambhala: Święta Droga Wojownika. If you do not have these books, excerpts will be provided.
The course proceeds through teachings, assignments, and assignment reviews. No photographic experience necessary, but a digital camera is required. A smartphone camera is workable.
