New Miksang Website

We are happy to announce our newly rejuvenated website at miksang.com. We hope that you find it aesthetically pleasing and easy to navigate. Our course descriptions have been updated to express the increasing simplicity of our understanding and teaching. This practice seems to be a process of finding essential simplicity, understanding and expressing the essence of what we see and our experience of that.

Please leave your comments or questions. They always benefit all of our readers. And please share it with your social media friends.
This is a good way to help people find us who are looking for a way to use photography to express the experience of direct visual perception.

We would like to remind you that the Miksang Institute Summer Intensive is happening beginning June 14, and we still have openings. More information is available on miksang.com.
