CLEAR LIGHT

To remember the Dalai Lama’s 50 years of exile, the “Clear Light - Chiara luce*”  project is based on an idea by Melina Mulas: fifty famous Italian photographers were invited to select and donate to the Dalai Lama a picture representing an important moment in their awareness of their creative evolution. In the vision of Tibetan Buddhism, clear light is the primordial base of the nature of the mind, the deepest level of conscience. It is compared to a cloudless, clear blue sky.  Like the sky uncluttered by clouds, clear light is not contaminated by the emotions or mental attitudes of a transitory nature. Clear Light is the principle of intuition, the deepest level of awareness.
