scott_jones2 Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 <p>Greetings:</p> <p>I am possibly interested in taking a Miksang Contemplative Photography workshop with Michael Wood. This is based on Buddhist insight meditation with many exercises to hone "seeing" through the use of photography. It sounds quite interesting to me since I am already a mediatator. Has anyone had any experience with this workshop or method??</p> <p><a href="http://www.scottjonesphoto.com" target="_blank">ScottJonesPhoto.com</a></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfimages Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Scott, This sounds very interesting. I just read a bit about it on their website, it sounds like the kind of thing I'd love to do, unfortunately I don't live in North America so I'll probably not get a chance to do one. If you do decide to do it, I'd love to hear your experiences. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d. light Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 You will learn how to photograph, MAYA, the illusion. Chances are given that this will cost you another few incarnations in the circle of earthly suffering, because you may get attached to your photography. ok, just joking.... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwilburn Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Why does this remind me of the Magritte painting of a pipe with the caption 'this is not a pipe' ??<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ward Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Gene, shouldn't the caption read: "This is not the Magritte painting, Ceci n'est pas une pipe"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d. light Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 In the context of Buddhas teachings, as they are described for us ignorant: Magritte was fooling himself with this picture, and you reciters and nitpickers :) as well. The pipe - painting or real, is as much existent as it is not existent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric_scott1 Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Scott, I went and had a look at the Miskang site - it definetly looks like an intriguing blend of photography and meditation. Instead of snapping endless photos in search of the one that meant something to you, I am sure with this technique each photo would speak volumes - if only to you... If you do decide to take part, I hope you share your experiences with us.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
