In this context, it doesn't mean trying to interpret your current experience using the Dhamma (or the Thrilakshana). As you've probably gathered from these talks, doing that doesn't make sense at all because our subjective experiences are inherently flawed anyway.Instead, "reflecting" means fundamentally shifting your perspective (or perception rather). The experience may be the trigger in this case, but it’s not about analyzing the specific experience you're having, but rather training your mind to see the underlying nature of experience itself through the Dhamma. One of the most bizarre things here is that you come to realise this way of reflection through the dhamma it self...  I'm definitely struggling to put this into words, can you tell? <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/lol.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="LOL    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /> It's a tough concept to put into words! <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/baffled.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":baffled:" title="Baffled    :baffled:" data-shortname=":baffled:" /></blockquote>
