Hi there. I'm Clarke. Thanks for dropping by. Here you will find content about how to live a life all in. There is content about philosophy, meditation, and other seemingly disparate disciplines that come together to inform a life well lived.

Through the 90's and 2000's I spent over 15 years living and studying with Tibetan lamas both here in Australia and in India. For much of that time I was a fully-ordained Buddhist monk.

My initial contact with Buddhism back in 1995 and since then I have read, thought about, practiced, and lived by the principles found within the Buddhist world-view every day since. But I do not adhere to one school of Buddhism and I have also read widely across Western Philosophy and science.

All of that is to say that I have a great love of philosophy in general and Buddhism in particular. I consider myself a Buddhist. I practice meditation every day. But more important than this I consider myself a human being with the potential to evolve, and I connect with others at this level.

For the most of this time I was based in Australia and then in 2009 I began a PhD in philosophy through the university of Tasmania and through this project I was lucky enough to live and work in India among the Tibetan community.

The PhD was a cross-cultural research project into the nature of self according to Eastern and Western philosophy. It was a lot of fun, which alas I was unable to complete. However, a lot of what you will find here comes from this research. Indeed, it is this rare combination of 15+ years with the Tibetan, study of Western Philosophy, and my on-going contemplative practice that is the heart of this content.

It has taken me a long time to come to this realisation...and that is, I cannot live my life well without creating something that has deep roots into the way I view the world around me and my way of being in the world. My work here are about just that. My view of the world. And although the way I see the world is heavily influenced by Buddhism, my work is not about championing Buddhism per se. Rather my work is about championing human potential.

Someone once said about me,"With a keen sense for the profound and an honesty of spirit Clarke's projects often reflect his own concerns for a life well lived."

I take what I have learnt from my own life and about those things.

I am very excited and a little nervous to finally release the film. But more on that coming...

Here are some of my teachers and a couple of friends....

warm regards,

Clarke Scott
