This lesson delves into the profound wisdom of perception, inspired by the Chinese proverb, "Two-thirds of what we see is behind our eyes." We explore how our five senses—sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell—actively shape our understanding of the world. The distinct processes of sensation and perception are analyzed, emphasizing that while our senses provide raw data, our minds interpret and give meaning to our experiences. Through group discussions and reflections on the importance of each sense, we encourage deeper awareness of how we perceive and engage with our surroundings.
