About Perceptions

From a Dharma perspective, perceptions are the mental formations and interpretations arising from sensory experiences. They are the means through which we recognize and categorize sensory input, shaping our understanding of the world. Perceptions are influenced by karma, past experiences, and habitual patterns, often leading to delusion and attachment. By cultivating mindfulness and awareness, practitioners can see through these conditioned perceptions, revealing the true nature of reality, which is impermanent, interconnected, and empty of inherent existence.
