SEEING IS NOT OUT THERE
「看」并不在外面

Seeing is a natural object to be aware of because it is so obvious.
「看」是一个中性的觉知所缘，因为它很明显。

The only thing that people find difficult is that when we try to recognize seeing, it has become a habit to immediately look and see objects outside of ourselves. It is difficult to recognize the process of the eyes and the mind just doing this work of seeing.
人们唯一感到困难的地方是，当我们去认出「看见」时，已经习惯了立即去望我们以外的物件。这就很难认出只是眼睛和心的过程在做「看见」的工作。

Our whole life, we have used our eyes to actually know the concepts of the world – the distance, size, shape, color, and so on of things around us. That recognition comes is really quickly.
在一生之中，我们一直在用眼睛确切地知道世界的概念：有关我们身边事物的距离、体积、形状、颜色...等等。这种辨识真是是非常快速的出现。

To understand that it’s just a process of seeing and not have to go into the names of the things we see, some people find it difficult to switch to just that.
要理解到这只是一个「看见」的过程，而无需掉进我们看到的东西的名字裡面。有些人发现很难转去只是做这一点。

It’s practice as well – if anyone practices, they become more familiar and understand it more easily.
这也是练习 — 任何人如果他们练习，他们就会对此更熟悉，也更容易明白。
