The four perversions of perception

Rick O'Shez

I came across the Vipallasa Sutta again, it's looks like a variation on the 3 marks.

"Monks, there are these four perversions of perception, perversions of mind, perversions of view. Which four? 'Constant' with regard to the inconstant is a perversion of perception, a perversion of mind, a perversion of view. 'Pleasant' with regard to the stressful... 'Self' with regard to not-self... 'Attractive' with regard to the unattractive is a perversion of perception, a perversion of mind, a perversion of view. These are the four perversions of perception, perversions of mind, perversions of view."

That's why I like to interact on the web, so I'm not affected by personal appearances.
