Shambhala Art Intensive 2010

Description:

You might be a meditator starting to find that your life is full of extraordinary perceptions and that everything can be done artfully. You want to explore and share that experience.

Or you are an artist with a growing suspicion that talent is just a part of it, that maybe your willingness to give the audience a piece of your beating heart is even more important.

Or you are just one of us who finds wakefulness, playfulness and creativity really interesting.

Everybody is welcome to sign up for this unique programme.

Acharya David Schneider

began the study and practice of Buddhism in 1971, and had the fortune that year to see Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche and Shunryu Suzuki Roshi together, and hear teachings from them both. He was ordained as a Zen priest in 1977 by Richard Baker Roshi, then began formal studies under Trungpa Rinpoche in 1985.

In 1995 he began an 8-year term as Director of Shambhala-Europe. In 1996, he was appointed Acharya by Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche.

David is an internationally-exhibited calligrapher (featuring mostly the ancient magical Indian script Siddham) and a prize-winning author, whose books on Zen and Zen teachers have been translated into many languages.
