Miksang Photography
Miksang is a Tibetan word that means 'Good Eye'. A contemplative art, it is based directly on the Dharma Art teachings of the late meditation master, artist and scholar, Chögyam Trungpa, specifically by his teachings on the nature of perception.
'Good Eye' refers to the eye and mind being synchronized so that the experience of seeing could be undistracted and present—actually being there—being awake. Seeing in this way, each perception is complete, unfiltered, and fully appreciated. The world of form could be perceived directly, without the weight and burden of our habitual likes and dislikes, associations, memories, all of which obscure clear perception.
Without visual prejudice, we could then form the equivalent of what we have seen and express each perception precisely. Miksang courses are designed to allow us to perceive the visual world in a fresh way and express ourselves in a genuine fashion using the medium of photography.
