Welcome to Nalanda Miksang

A path of perceptions and contemplative photography

Miksang is a Tibetan word that translates as “good eye.” Nalanda Miksang teachings and courses connect, through clear seeing and sacred vision, with what Chögyam Trungpa’s teachings call “basic goodness,” which is a primordial harmony. 

Based on this pure vision, we makes images that are simple, strong and vivid.
