When I say absence of distractions, I mean it in the context of some "flowing" chunks within the conscious process (see next section - Concentration 'Flows'). So yes, I agree with you conceptually, but perhaps taken without the whole context, the definition seems to point at the idea of emptiness. Maybe the following makes it more clear: > Therefore, a clear definition of distraction is interruptions to the conscious process, either from external or internal sources. In turn, concentration means, a lack of disruptions to the conscious process, either from within or without.
