In Buddhist meditation, "stopping and seeing" essentially refers to the process of not engaging with cravings or delusions of the mind, and seeing the "truth," i.e., perceiving things exactly as they are, without interpreting them or trying to change them. Combined, these two concepts summarize the ancient belief and philosophical notion that action inhibition and observation of/attunement with sensory stimuli can enhance awareness and appreciation, helping to establish a spiritual connection with our surroundings.
