Stephen Batchelor and Ruth Ozeki on Buddhism and Creativity
From Leonard Cohen to Laurie Anderson to Sonny Rollins, many great artists and innovators are also Buddhist practitioners. How does dharma practice support a creative life? Can meditation increase our capacity to be creative? Secular dharma teacher and author Stephen Batchelor discusses these and other questions in a live conversation with the author, filmmaker, and Zen Buddhist priest Ruth Ozeki, who will discuss her forthcoming novel, The Book of Form and Emptiness.
This conversation was recorded on April 15, 2021 as a part of Tricycle's 30th Anniversary celebration—a monthlong series of donation-based virtual events celebrating thirty years of dharma in the West. Learn more and sign up at https://tricycle.org/30th-anniversary/
