Greetings,
I'm Rich Dayton, a photographer, Buddhist yogin, and student of Tibetan medicine (Sowa Rigpa) based in Allegany, New York.
Meditative Arts is my ongoing project to find alignment with the Noble Eightfold Path through art, yoga and community engagement. For years, my practice has been a mostly private one. Taking photos with my phone that no one sees, going to local yoga classes, weeks spent alone in silent meditation. Eventually a time came when I knew I needed to branch out into the world. It is not enough to simply think about values and aspirations. You must also act on them, and share them.
I hope that my work will inspire and enrich your life. Every little bit counts. Please feel free to reach out to me by email, or come to one of my community practice events if you are local. Thank you for visiting my page.
