This gallery is a collection of impressions—moments from my life, travels, and practice. It’s not a curated story but rather a series of glimpses into the landscapes, experiences, and reflections that shape my journey. Some photos connect directly to my Buddhist practice, while others simply capture the beauty and stillness I’ve encountered along the way.

It’s an open space for inspiration—feel free to explore and see what resonates. More will be added over time.

 All mental phenomena have mind as their forerunner; they have mind as their chief; they are mind-made. If one speaks or acts with an evil mind, ‘dukkha’  follows him just as the wheel follows the hoofprint of the ox that draws the cart.

— The Buddha, Dhammapada 1.1

“The wise person, like the bee, takes the essence of the teachings of all Buddhas and benefits from them, bringing forth wisdom for the benefit of all beings.”

— Buddha, Madhyama Āgama (Middle Length Discourses)

“Just as a field is fertile and produces grain, so is the mind fertile and produces actions. If good thoughts are cultivated, they will yield good results; if bad, they will yield suffering.”

— The Buddha, Dhammapada 42

“All conditioned things are impermanent—when one sees this with wisdom, one turns away from suffering.”

— The Buddha, Dhammapada, Verse 277

Just as a beautiful flower, lacking in scent, cannot give the wearer the benefit of its scent, so also, the well-preached words of the Buddha cannot benefit one who does not practise the Dhamma.

This photo was taken at Lerab Ling, sometime during the summer of 2010 or 2011.

It remains one of my favorite spots for meditation, not only because of its tranquility but also because of the expansive views and deep sense of spaciousness it offers. The vast surroundings always helped me feel more connected to my practice, allowing for a deeper sense of calm and clarity. Apparently it was at this very spot that the great Dzogchen master, Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche, meditated during one of his visits presumably 1996. Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche (1932–2009) was one of the key figures in the Dzogchen tradition, known for his profound teachings and deep realization. His time at Lerab Ling left a lasting impact, and his presence continues to inspire those who follow the Dzogchen path. Meditating here, I’ve always felt a strong connection—not only to the teachings of Dzogchen but also to the openness and stillness that defines this practice. It’s a place where both the mind and environment come together, making it a truly powerful space for remaining.

This photo was taken with Khandro Tséring Chödrön in October 2009 at Lerab Ling Monastery, France. During one of those memorable times, I’ve had the privilege of meeting her. Meeting her has been one of the most profound and life-changing experiences of my life
