BEAUTY IS A CONCEPT

See this content in the original post

Yogi: When I’m outside and am aware of seeing, everything is equal, but often there are things that catch my attention that are beautiful. Is beauty always a concept?

Sayadaw: It is a value judgment of the mind because what you find beautiful somebody else may find ugly or neutral. 

Beauty is a concept; so, it’s not a reality. If it was a reality, everyone would experience it the same way. 

If someone likes red, then red is beautiful. If someone likes blue, blue is beautiful.
