Looking without imagination,

Listening without distortion..... 

.......is the ceasing of attributing 

names and shapes,...

.... to the seen,

.......to the heard.

 

 

 

 

 
Realizing 

that every mode of perception 

is subjective,

that what is believed ...

to have been seen...

 to have been heard...

to have been touched...

 to have been smelled...

 to have felt... 

to have thought,...

 to have expected...

or 

to have imagined,

 

 

All exist,......

 

as notions...

 

.......within a further notion

 

 

popularly known 

 

as the mind,

 

 

and thus not in reality,

 

 

 

 

can there exist,

 

either,......

 

....... the absence of peace.....

 

 

 

...or its presence?
