SUMMARY:Look\, Look\, Look\, Look\, Look Again: Buddhist Wisdom Reflected in 26 Artists
DESCRIPTION:Free webinar to talk with author and teacher Kevin Townley about the Five Buddha Wisdoms. Register here.\nOne of the best things about the Open Heart Project Sangha is KEVIN TOWNLEY. If you’ve ever heard him teach\, you know exactly why I say that. His approach to the dharma is completely unique while being fully rooted in tradition. He illustrates deeply nuanced teachings in a fully relatable way–while being hilarious. And charming. And extremely suave.  \nI’m delighted to invite you to a free webinar with him to discuss the Five Buddha Wisdoms\, also the topic of his recent book\, Look\, Look\, Look\, Look\, Look Again: Buddhist Wisdom Reflected in 26 Artists. These teachings are central in many schools of Tibetan Buddhism. They describe the five ways wisdom arises in each of us.  \nThe Open Heart Project’s Lionheart Press is the publisher of this book and I’ve never been more proud of any project I’ve been involved in. (Even though I just hung around while Kevin and editrix extraordinaire Crystal Gandrud did all the work.)  \nCheck out this sampling of Amazon reviews: \nI’m completely awed and enchanted by this fabulous book! It’s like an all night conversation about life and art with a brilliant funny friend. Kevin’s ability to draw from a diverse range of cultural references is catnip for a liberal arts nerd like myself. Plus I learned about an amazing group of female identified artists who were mostly unknown to me. What a treat! Nutritious and delicious! \nI had read the electronic version of this book\, but after receiving the print version\, I am glad that I ordered it. There is much to study\, much to savor and much to simply be wowed over. Kevin Townley’s erudite and amazingly well-researched text is fast-paced\, contemporary and witty\, fleshing out individual artists’ works with commentary and a few interviews. His thorough understanding of the five wisdom energies (or Buddha families) allows a unique lens through which the reader can appreciate both the works and the teachings more fully. The art is beautifully presented\, with a both a detail and the whole piece in each chapter. While it would make a wonderful text for a college course in art appreciation\, it is also accessible and entertaining for the casual reader. When a book opens windows and doors and encourages one to “Look\, Look\, Look\, Look\, Look Again\,” the invitation cannot be refused. The reader need not be an art savant or a Buddhist (or even know much about Buddhism) to derive deep enjoyment from this truly unique work. Well done. \nKevin’s brilliant sense of humor is on display as he takes the reader on a wild journey through an intersected corridor of art\, art history\, and Buddhist wisdom told while exploring the Five Buddha Families / Wisdom Energies as they manifest through a fantastic selection of female artists. Kevin makes art\, meditation\, and the dharma feel very near and accessible to all. \nThe people have spoken. They love you\, Kevin. \nPlease join us on May 9 at 7p ET for a free webinar with Kevin. He’ll talk about each of the wisdoms and there will be time for conversation. \nRegister here. \nIf you haven’t read his book\, please do. You can find it here. You’re welcome. \n  \nA B O U T   K E V I N: \nKevin Townley is a writer/performer\, and has been studying Buddhism since 2010. He currently practices with the Sokuko-Ji Zen community under the guidance of Kyoun Sokuzan. Kevin completed the Interdependence Project’s teacher training program in 2012. He is passionate about exploring the interplay of meditation and art-making while encouraging others to bring their own innate humor and insight to their meditation practice. His first book Look\, Look\, Look\, Look\, Look Again: Buddhist Wisdom Reflected in 26 Artists was published by Lionheart Press.
