Re: What see a ray of light ?
Well, that's a rather complex question and it's phrased in such a way that anybody could make a slippery response and think they got away with it. But basically the brain sees the light where the eyeball is just an external component of said brain.
"I don't envision a single thing that, when developed & cultivated, leads to such great benefit as the mind. The mind, when developed & cultivated, leads to great benefit."
"I don't envision a single thing that, when undeveloped & uncultivated, brings about such suffering & stress as the mind. The mind, when undeveloped & uncultivated, brings about suffering & stress."

Nothing sees the light...just a phenomena amongst the aggregates.
Re: What see a ray of light ?
Based on this sutta, and others we can say: there is nothing that sees. There is just seeing of a ray of light (because of some prerequisite conditions).DAWN wrote:What see a ray of light ?
Maybe we can say "seeing sees" but even that is not the most accurate way of describing what really is.
Re: What see a ray of light ?
That's about the best answer so far, IMO. It could be extended to incorporate points others have mentioned, e.g. the perception of a ray of light arises in the brain because of the effect of light reaching the eye and stimulating nerves there, but perception does not imply a perceiver. Or something like that.SamKR wrote:Based on this sutta, and others we can say: there is nothing that sees. There is just seeing of a ray of light (because of some prerequisite conditions).
Not so good, since "seeing sees" is grammatically problematic enough to be meaningless.SamKR wrote:Maybe we can say "seeing sees" but even that is not the most accurate way of describing what really is.

What touches this orb of collagen?

If you mean the physical eye, light (carrying some information about the physical object's outer layer) touches it.beeblebrox wrote:What touches this orb of collagen?

What makes the light touching? I think it must be the dependent origination.
