Just Be: Zen and the Art of Creativity

This week I interview pianist, composer, teacher and Zen Buddhist priest, Ástvaldur Zenki Traustason. We talk about his approach to the internal critic, how Zen influences the way he plays and the role of humor in Zen Buddhism.Ástvaldur's links:https://www.zen.is/https://www.zenki.is/His grandparents on Spotify:https://songwhip.com/leikbraedurIf you'd like to join the growing family of Patrons, right this way:Join my PatreonBooks recommended by Ástvaldur:Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind by Shunryu SuzukiMusic mentioned:Sacred Hymns by Keith JarrettTry Audible:https://amzn.to/3ulKRBuTry Blinkist with my link:http://blinkist.o6eiov.net/ZdvkYRListen to my music on Bandcamp:https://scottmclemore.bandcamp.comSubscribe to my newsletter The Interval:https://subscribe.scottmclemore.com Hosted on Acast.
