Photography and Practice
In
photography, we are working with light. Simple light. That is if we are
simple in our perception. But how does that come to be?
This
is where Buddhist practice shines some light on the art of photography,
and likewise the practice of photography on the art of Buddhist
practice. There is a dialogue that takes place here, a reflection, where
each starts to inform the other.
When
one first comes to sit in the practice of meditation, one
discovers—like a rushing river, as the classic texts express it—how much
motion is simply going on in the mind all the time. Thought after
thought. How often in this great torrent of the energy of the mind and
habitual thoughts is perception ever offered the chance to be simple? In
the act of meditation, we discover how elusive actual simplicity can
be. See at More: http://newlotus.buddhistdoor.com/en/news/d/41670
