Chinese ink painting is simple in form, rich in meaning and an aesthetic experience, and at once realistic and abstract. In its attempt to capture the essence of the subject, Chinese ink painting explores beyond the external appearance. It aims at lifting us to a transcending realm where the self is forgotten and worldly concerns distilled. Thus it is imbued with tranquility and even spiritual intensity. With the pliant brush and highly sensitive paper, this high art form demands union of the technique to master the brushstrokes derived from calligraphy, the artistic sensitivity and imagination, and the cultivation of ethical purity, intellectual and transcendental insight.

Planning on doing this year's IDEAS competition? Still need project ideas and teammates for the Muhammd Yunus TB challenge? Wondering just what the issues with fighting TB are? What is it really like to run a TB camp in an affected area, e.g. in rural India? Looking for a community partner?
Prajnopaya, a non-profit headed by the Venerable Tenzin Priyadarshi right here in MIT, has been working in rural India for over a year now, conducting TB treatment and prevention programs.
