Ein einzelner Satz, der die Idee am besten charakterisiert: Fully present with eyes wide open---that is the essence of Miksang Contemplative Photography.

Ausführlichere Beschreibung: Miksang Contemplative Photography is a way of synchronizing eye and mind in order to perceive the world vividly and directly. By having direct visual sense perceptions a whole new world opens up to the viewer (the photographer) which is completely unbiased and free from the usual concepts we might have about things. The Miksang classes consist in visual exercises training the mind and eye to be fully present in the moment as well as photographic exercises which broaden our visual perspective which helps to notice the ordinary magic of life and the world.

Thema oder Problem, dass durch die Idee aufgegriffen wird: Usually we think of certain things as nice or bad or ugly or beautiful. With Miksang even the most ordinary objects or situations in daily life can be magical and beautiful in their own right. Situations of everyday life take on a new and fresh meaning which can be delightful. The problem that I want to address with my idea is the fact that most people on earth are running around in their daily lives not noticing most of what is actually around us. We live in our heads a lot of the time and don't appreciate our lives or other people. With mindfulness and presence we can start to see things in a new light.

Wer bei der Realisierung am meisten von der Idee profitiert: People who take the Miksang class would have the most advantage. Their way of seeing the world would change and this in turn would help other people, too.

Die ersten Schritte, die zur Umsetzung der Idee getan werden müssten: Miksang would have to be introduced in schools of all sorts. There also need to be teachers trained in Miksang as currently there are very few. My idea is to teach Miksang in as many schools as possible so that people of all ages can have access to a free and vivid way of seeing and appreciating the richness and beauty of their lives and the world we live in. If more people in the world see the world in all its richness and beauty and appreciate and enjoy the little seemingly insignificant magic moments of our lives more... I believe we would live with more peace and joy on this planet. I have found Miksang to make my life much more cheerful and enjoyable and I want to share that with as many people as I can.
