About Perception

In the context of Dharma, perception refers to the mental process of recognizing and interpreting sensory information. It involves the identification and categorization of sensory inputs, forming the basis of our experience of reality. Perception is one of the five aggregates (skandhas) that constitute human existence and is crucial in shaping our responses and reactions. In Buddhist practice, refining perception through mindfulness and meditation helps in understanding the true nature of phenomena, leading to greater wisdom and liberation.
