Pure perception

pure perception (T. dag pa'i snang ba དག་པའི་སྣང་བ་). Seeing the true nature of things, without karmic obscurations. One of the three types of perception according to Buddhist tantra.

Chogyal Namkhai Norbu states:

When ... the causes of karmic vision have been totally purified, one's vision does not disappear altogether, but rather manifests in its pure form, as the dimension of realized beings. In tantrism, for example, the final result of the practice is the transformation of the five passions into the five wisdoms. Thus the passions are not eliminated or annihilated, but are transformed in such a way that they can manifest in their purified, or essential, aspect. This pure vision of realized beings is not subject to the limits of space or time.
