Miksang “Good Eye” Photos

Written by Dan Peterson —

During the third class of Wisdom in Everyday Life we entered into a rather feisty discussion of how preconceptions and habits veil our capacity to directly experience the richness of our environment. If we do catch a glimpse of this vivid world it is soon subsumed by our conceptual efforts to name what we see, or create a context, to make our experience safe. One class assignment was to find a place to sit down for ten minutes a day – with no agenda – not even to meditate. The assignment was to notice. The next class we saw Miksang photos posted by Charles Blackhall on Facebook. The assignment for the last class was to simply photograph what we saw, without elaboration. There was no training in Miksang photography – so we called this pre-Miksang. We hope you enjoy the photos!
