Join the Dots, a collaborative project by DixonBaxi Agency.

Our friend Forrest Loder has shared this initiative by the DixonBaxi Creative Agency, that called his attention because of the obvious connection with our “dots’ theme” at this blog, and which called my attention as it translates the same collaborative approach that inspires us, and the same potential and “first moment” quality of what Chögyam Trungpa calls “the primordial dot”.

On his site on the drala principle, Bill Scheffel writes about “The principles of dharma art” and his meeting with Jack Niland months ago, and in 1976:
My meeting with Jack Niland two weeks ago was a kind of re-union with 1976 or, I might say, 1976 required me finally to have this meeting (no more than an accident). That summer, Jack taught a four-week class on the “dharma art” principles he had learned from Chögyam Trungpa. I sat on the floor with the seven or eight other students and listened to Jack’s lectures, his pure, smitten and unflagging enthusiasm for such things as how the rods and cones of the eye corresponded to the design matrices of Tibetan thangkas, how the earth was a “rinky-dink” planet compared to many other world-systems, how a dot was the first work of art and how the aesthetic and moral catastrophes of the late nineteen-seventies could be transformed into wakefulness through art ― all of these, teachings and tales conveyed to Jack by Chögyam Trungpa.
[…] Earlier this year, I received and invitation to write an article about Chögyam Trungpa for an anthology on “artists of the Counterculture.” In the beginning of the article I described Jack’s story of first meeting Chögyam Trungpa, which can be heard on The Chronicles of CTR (PLEASE listen to this recording!)
