Creativity and The Contemplative Path

Posted on April 11, 2017

A Public Talk by Lopön Helen Berliner

Contemplation, from the Latin contemplari, literally means “within a space to see clearly.” The space is the mind of meditation. It accommodates the good, the bad, the complex, and is a source of unconditional creativity and joy. What is clearly seen in that space is the bigger picture, the boundless possibilities inherent in the “naked city’s eight million stories.” Learn how creativity on the contemplative path unfolds in three, seemingly contradictory stages; how these oppositional energies can enhance the quality of our physical, mental, and creative lives—and why the marriage of a spacious mind and clear seeing is a union blessed with unlimited potential for creative contentment.

Lopön Helen is an artist; longtime Buddhist practioner, teacher, and book editor; and author of Enlightened By Design: Using Contemplative Wisdom To Bring Peace, Wealth, Warmth And Energy Into Your Home.
