What is Miksang?

Miksang was originally inspired by the teachings on perception and expression of the Tibetan Meditation Master and Artist, Chögyam Trungpa. With our eye, mind, and heart fully unified and engaged in the present moment, we can see the world as it manifests to us and express the experience of seeing in this way with our camera.

Learn Miksang

The entire course of study involved in Miksang is simply to take a natural situation, which is to see clearly, which is inherent to everyone, and to experience it as already basically pure and clean. We then apply discipline to keep it that way. That’s all there is.
