Perception Without Thoughts

I know this might not be understood. But that’s fine.

There is perception without thoughts.

Thoughts are not yours. Nor is this body yours. There is only reality - six sense doors and respective inputs. In the monk free from the five hindrances.

When from the basis of the past, thoughts do not interfere perception, there is perception without thoughts.

Thus, O monks, do the ideal ones concentrate - in equanimity, in awareness and in wisdom.

Mind moments swell from moments to minutes, from khanika samadhi to upkar samadhi.
