Route: Photography as an appeal. PhotoDepartament, St. Petersburg. Visual artist, photographer Liana Darenskaya, Moscow

Main messages: 


Duality as self-identification and separation from the world leads to non_freedom of spirit. Freedom as living being without conditioning. In this there is joy and love. Connection with this freedom is deep Awakening. The vector of one’s own Path. The opening of the vision of the beauty of the world. The humblest experience of non duality is stillness of mind. The property of the Wanderer. Further emptiness of mind and its openness.

The summit is the disappearance of the point of reference of human experience. But this is not achieved. Almost no one. This is the Buddhist tradition. Bodhisattva incarnation. 

The universal feeling is an attempt to overcome existential distance from the world, to comprehend the “higher reality” in the integral unity of all abilities of the human soul. 


Post card

If you try to live in harmony with everyone else, you end up at odds with yourself. One of the tasks of the route was to create a postcard message. To whom. To those who are looking for the way of spiritual development among endless ideas and compilations of pseudo-gurus, monasteries, religions, rushing from doctrine to doctrine. Losing money, strength, hope… The appeal: study, go deep, but do not dive in! Everything you need is inside you. Be Wanderers, observe the world, live within the world and awaken! May the Power and Love be with you.
