I was listening to a buddhist monk talking about masturbation addiction and his advice about it:
> When you see the human body or these sexual acts on a screen or
> magazine page you are not actually seeing **these things. You are
> simply seeing light touching your eyes.** And when you can come to
> this realization, where seeing is simply seeing, then you will have no
> thought of the person's hair, teeth, beasts, etc. There is only
> seeing. So you are able to see anything and see it simply for what it
> is. Thus there is no connection made. Seeing is seeing, because that's
> what it is. You don't see a human body and say that it is beautiful,
> because you realize it's ridiculous to say that, because this is
> simply light touching my eyes
I have difficulty to understand what the monk means by that, what is the difference between seeing a screen and the "seeing light touching your eyes"
Could you give me some pointers ?
