The document discusses how vision perceives objects as both near and far even when their physical distances are fixed. It uses the example of watching a movie, where the camera and screen are fixed but viewers still perceive some scenes as closer and others farther away. This is because the mind contains an "impurity" that makes it perceive differences in distance mentally rather than physically. Through meditation and reducing this mental impurity, one can see the world without such perceptions of near and far and instead view everything on the same plane.

1. Distant vision.
To day I am goingto speakaboutthe”distance”we see,indayto day life.You have distantobjectsas
well asnearobjects.Noone arguesregardingthis.
Thinka bit!
The phenomenonof measurementcomestous,if there are 2 objectsavailable.Distance measuresin
betweenthese2objects.Eg- thischair is15 metersawayfromthe cupboard.
In the case you,youmeasure distance inrelationtoyou.Yousay,some objectsare far away fromyou&
some are nearto youdependingonthe positionof you.
If the distance ismeasured dependingof the positionof you,how doyou clarifythe followingexample?
Suppose yougoto a cinema& be seated& watcha film.The camera& the screenare installedinafixed
position&the distance inbetweenthemisseveral meters.Butwhenyoulookatthe picturesof the film,
youcan see nearsceneries&distantsceneries.
My questionis,if the camera& the screenare fixed,thatcan notbe broughtbackward& forward,how
doescamera show youdistant&nearvisioninrelationtoyou?
Doesn’tyourmindtell yousome picturesare faraway & some picturesare near to you?
See!The bothpicturesare in the same plain, onthe screen.Thenhow doyou differentiate thisvision?
Nowyoucan come to understandthatyou,screen& camera are fixedbutthere issomethinginmind
(or eye?) showsyouthe difference inbetweenthem.This“something”iscalledthe mental impurityor
“Klesha”(Accordingtothe Lord Buddha) inmind.
What thisimpuritydoesis,itshows youthe distant& nearvisionthoughtheyhave inthe same plain.
If one personimproveshismindthroughMeditation&graduallyreducesthisimpurity,youhave NO
distant& near visionsothatthe worldyousee is inthe same plain.
Thank You!
