If you are able to relax—看着它放松到云端, 放松地聆听一滴雨，体验它的真实—you can see the unconditionality of reality…you experience a vast realm of perceptions unfolding…the realm of perception is limitless, so limitless that perception itself is primordial…there are endless fields of perception.

—秋阳创巴, Shambhala Sacred Path of the Warrior

关于课程

This course works with our senses of both sight and insight—which leads to a different and fresh way of seeing and experiencing our world. So it is both a dharma practice and a contemplative art exploration.

The “clear seeing” you will experience as a part of this course opens up many realms of perception that we typically do not engage with in our daily life. We will explore some fields of perception such as flowers and weeds, the “ordinary world” and impressionism. We will contemplate how this “true perception way” has implications for more primordial insight and deep realization.

We will also contemplate some Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche texts from the books True Perception and Shambhala: 武士圣道. If you do not have these books, excerpts will be provided.

The course proceeds through teachings, assignments, and assignment reviews. No photographic experience necessary, but a digital camera is required. A smartphone camera is workable.
