Insight

Lens: Insight
Beacons	Attention

Lenses, in the context of the Beacons of Everyday Enlightenment represent more specific concepts and practices through which we can understand the rich meaning of each Beacon. There are Primary Lenses, which are the most commonly understood and most robust meditative concepts, and there are Other Lenses which are a collection of other closely related ideas for that Beacon.

The practice of Insight is to develop the ability to see beyond illusions and to see the true nature of reality. It is the direct and intuitive understanding of the true nature of all mental and physical phenomena. The practice of Insight aims at understanding that things impermanent and unstable, that they are unsatisfactory and imperfect, and that they are not self.

Landmarks

The Realms of Everyday Enlightenment each have some noticeable Landmarks which show the likely alignment someone within that Realm has with each of the Beacons and their various Lenses. These Landmarks are things that need to be noticed and explored in the context of those Lenses and Beacons. And then through working on the Trails and Guides these Landmarks will serve as markers toward the next Realm where new Landmarks await.
