"What the Buddha taught" is a great book and it's fairly short. The pdf is online too web.ics.purdue.edu/~buddhism/docs/… Don't be put off by the length of the pdf, half of it is an appendix of Buddhist verses. | |

Only things which arise will pass away, the hexagon geometry which exists outside of you doesn't arise so it doesn't pass away. However, your perception of a hexagon is something which arises and after a while it will pass away because you start to think about other things. | |
| Feb 14, 2017 at 1:32 | comment | added | Tsangares | I will consider how to better describe my meditation. Periodically, I will focus on my breath doing a samatha meditation. When I look at nature I try to understand impermanence, but I do not believe all things are temporal. I believe symbols/ideas like the hexagon transcend time. My meditation also consists of trying to understand the objects that exists whether I am here or not (maths) and the transducer (physics) between these symbols/ideas and the temporal physical world. | |
