Being Contemplative: Ordinary Magic Liberation - Mondays
with John McQuade
In Ancient Chinese spirituality there opened a seam between Daosim and Zen (Chan). This seam is the contemplative arts. This course explores the contemplative arts as a way of liberation. We present Haiku - a short literary form - as the ongoing concrete practice.
The course introduces the sublime contemplative aesthetics, explores the relationship with Zen (Chan) and Daosim, presents the Shambhala teachings on Drala (ordinary magic) and enters liberation through the ordinary magic of the phenomenal world.
Runs five consecutive Mondays starting at 7:30pm Eastern time.
John McQuade is a Shambhala Training Teacher, practices Daoist Qigong and is the founder of Nalanda Miksang Contemplative Photography.
