3W 50

The practice of meditation is represented by the three monkeys,
who cover their eyes, ears and mouths so as to avoid the phenomenal world.

The practice of non-meditation is ceasing to be the see-er, hearer or speaker
while eyes, ears and mouths are fulfilling their function in daily life.

  1. This recalls to me when my teacher asked me after I had not seen him for some time, "Are you always meditating." He would not call it "non-meditation," but there is some congruity here.
