Art in Everyday LIfe (reference to Dharma Art, by Chogyam Trumpa)

Awareness practice is not just sitting meditation or meditation in action alone.
It is a by being an artist .
The idea of the artist is very important and seems to be necessary at this point. When we talk about art, we could be referring to somebody deliberately expressing the beauty and delightfulness or the mockery and crudeness of the world that we live in, in the form of poetry art music. It is not not so much for yourself, but it is more an exhibition, however genuine the artist may be.
But in the West, particularly in the twentieth century people don't always go through a through training process first.
They purely use their talent, imitatintg the free style of trained people. And that's very chancy, sometimes they hit and make a tremendous success and sometimes they miss, and the whole thing becomes a tremendous mess. So in order to develop a really free' style work of art, you have to have the awkwardness of seeing yourself being awkward. That kind of watcher seems to be necessary, actually. We have no other choice.
