Video, Audio, PhotosSnapshots of Basic Goodness: January
Peter O. Welte: Birmingham, Alabama. I do not take pictures of people very often. The tuba player had stationed herself and her donations hat outside a small clothing shop in a place called Little Five Points in Atlanta,GA. I was for a Miksang class when I came across her and she agreed to being imaged.
In Shambhala, we embody the tradition, practice and lineage of clear perception, true seeing, direct awareness, true expression. This is incorporated in every expression of basic goodness, and can be captured through the practice of photography. Capturing those moments of presence is a big part of our path in Shambhala, and sharing them is a big part of our societal expression. Hence: Snapshots of Basic Goodness.
Starting this month on the Shambhala Times, we will be sharing some of the photos that have been submitted to this column that don’t make the “cut” for the homepage on our new Facebook Business Listing page. View them, like them, share them and send in more by visiting us on Facebook: Shambhala Times Magazine.
