The Zen of Creativity: Cultivating Your Artistic LifeFor many of us, the return of Zen conjures up images of rock gardens and gently flowing waterfalls. We think of mindfulness and meditation, immersion in a state of being where meaning is found through simplicity. Zen lore has been absorbed by Western practitioners and pop culture alike, yet there is a specific area of this ancient tradition that hasn't been fully explored in the West.

For many of us, the return of Zen conjures up images of rock gardens and gently flowing waterfalls. We think of mindfulness and meditation, immersion in a state of being where meaning is found through simplicity. Zen lore has been absorbed by Western practitioners and pop culture alike, yet there is a specific area of this ancient tradition that hasn't been fully explored in the West. Now, in The Zen of Creativity, American Zen master John Daido Loori presents a book that taps the principles of the Zen arts and aesthetic as a means to unlock creativity and find freedom in the various dimensions of our existence. Loori dissolves the barriers between art and spirituality, opening up the possibility of meeting life with spontaneity, grace, and peace.

Zen Buddhism is steeped in the arts. In spiritual ways, calligraphy, poetry, painting, the tea ceremony, and flower arranging can point us toward our essential, boundless nature. Brilliantly interpreting the teachings of the artless arts, Loori illuminates various elements that awaken our creativity, among them still point, the center of each moment that focuses on the tranquility within; simplicity, in which the creative process is uncluttered and unlimited, like a cloudless sky; spontaneity, a way to navigate through life without preconceptions, with a freshness in which everything becomes new; mystery, a sense of trust in the unknown; creative feedback, the systematic use of an audience to receive noncritical input about our art; art koans, exercises based on paradoxical questions that can be resolved only through artistic expression. Loori shows how these elements interpenetrate and function not only in art, but in all our endeavors.

Beautifully illustrated and punctuated with poems and reflections from Loori's own spiritual journey, The Zen of Creativity presents a multilayered, bottomless source of insight into our creativity. Appealing equally to spiritual seekers, artists, and veteran Buddhist practitioners, this book is perfect for those wishing to discover new means of self-awareness and expression--and to restore equanimity and freedom amid the vicissitudes of our lives.

Soft and Smooth!
Style: Deep Moisturizing, Size: 1.76 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This product feels fantastic when you put it on. A little goes a very long way so you get a lot for your money. It does work great after just lightly drying your face. There isn’t much of a smell, which I prefer. I have very sensitive skin and this is so soothing to use. I’m also in my late 40’s so the soft, plump and smooth look achieved after using this is so nice. If it makes your skin greasy at all you are using too much.

Buy!! Worked well for my eczema
Love love love this product!! It’s AMAZING for my winter skin. The consistency is thick enough to deeply moisturize and keep my skin hydrated all day long. It made my skin super clear, smooth, and healthy-looking. It also really helped clear up my eczema, especially the eczema and dry patches on my face. My dry spots became so much smoother and less irritated after using this consistently. The jar lasted me a good while, which I loved since I use moisturizer constantly. There’s no fragrance, the application is super easy, and the consistency feels sooo nice on the skin. It absorbs really well and leaves my skin feeling soft and glowy. It honestly worked so well that I didn’t even need to use primer before my makeup anymore 😭 that’s how good this product is!! I will always repurchase, especially during the winter 💕

Buying more!!!
I recently tried Tele Honeyball Face and Body Moisture Cream, and I’m honestly impressed. From the first use, it felt incredibly rich without being greasy, which is a hard balance to find. It absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth, and deeply hydrated all day. What I really love is how versatile it is—I’ve been using it on both my face and body, and it performs beautifully in both areas. My skin tends to get dry, especially with changing weather, and this cream has made a noticeable difference in keeping everything moisturized and healthy-looking. The texture is luxurious, and a little goes a long way, so it feels like a great value too. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality moisturizer that actually delivers on hydration, this one is definitely worth trying.

Subtle, pleasant scent. Very creamy and moisturizing. Use on face and neck for months and have purchased multiple times. Leaves skin feeling hydrated, not greasy.
