Can poetry become a form of cultivation? Tang dynasty poet Wang Wei 王維 is often remembered for his mountains, waterfalls, silence, and moonlit landscapes. But what if these poems were never simply descriptions of nature? In this new Notes from the Tower of Songs, Dan Vercammen ( 費丹凝 Taoist name Fei Danning) explores the deeper layers hidden within Wang Wei’s poetry: quiet-sitting practice, Taoist influence, Chan Buddhist insight, emptiness, transformation, and experiences of enlightenment concealed within landscape imagery. A poem that looks like a painting. A painting that reveals an inner landscape. #WangWei #ChinesePoetry #ChineseCulture #ChanBuddhism #Taoism #ClassicalChinese #ChinesePhilosophy #LandscapePainting #TaoistLifestyle
