Mu regard

    
A couple of images appear to have drifted together here of late : painters of black - mindful of lineage and of emptiness, or not - and regard(ers) of same.

         
The first image is from here :
Sceptical Buddhism > Buddhism & art > Buddhism and art: modes of enquiry and awakening. 2006.
- an introductory talk on Buddhism and art given to undergraduate students as part of a course on the relationship between philosophical ideas and art practice.
The caption given there to the image is :
