In the Seen Only the Seen - Photographs by Vidyasiddhi

In the Seen Only the Seen - Photographs by Vidyasiddhi

From 'In the Seen Only the Seen' on Thu, 15 Nov, 2012 - 11:35
I make photographs because my eye observes a pattern of shape, colour, light and form, an abstract arrangement, a design. I involve my calculating mind as little as possible. If I can see the world as it is, I may move beyond views of it and find its emptiness. When I am shooting I try to let go of intellectual searching and questioning, and allow the image to come to me, looking with the interest and openness...

La Transformacion Del Cuerpo,habla Y Mente...dana O Generosidad

From Centro Budista de Valencia on Wed, 14 Nov, 2012 - 00:00
La vida budista es un camino de transformacion. En este retiro de hombres (realizado Guhyaloka, Espana en agosto del 2012) exploraremos el simbolismo de la transformacion y sus implicaciones en nuestra comunicacion, nuestras acciones, y la practica de la meditación.

Sabemos que la Segunda Noble Verdad enuncia que el origen del sufrimiento es el deseo neurotico y el apego, el ansia desenfrenada. Por eso, una de las principales practicas del budista es dana. Dana significa la práctica de dar o de compartir con otros, tambien nos ayuda a abrir nuestras mentes en amor bondadoso y compasión. Es un antidoto contra el apego, ese fuerte agarre o tenaz aferramiento a nuestras cosas.

Dharmakirti explora la generosidad como elemento transformador en nuestra vida en términos de Qué dar?, a quién dar?, Cómo dar? y cuales son sus beneficios? , etc.
