Looking and Seeing: Nalanda Miksang Contemplative Photography (Way of Seeing) - Tapa blanda

Looking and Seeing is an introduction to Nalanda Miksang. A combination of a philosophical treatise and a playful photography manual, this first volume of three starts the journey. Through studying looking and seeing, flash of perception, and synchronization, we explore structured assignments to free the eyes and mind through contemplative photography.
