EYE

Page One Sixty begins an analysis of each sense organ and their transparent elements:

Despite a heavy repetition of words here, I think Sayadaw is saying, for example with the eye-transparent element awareness, just to look at an object and notice the way that color or features impinge on the eye.  However, to make it more complicated, he says to notice first the four elements in the eye itself, and discern their transparent element.  Then look at a color some distance from the eye and note its contact.

Likewise with body, ear, nose and tongue.
