How could one ever know whether anything did or did not exist "out there", when all one knows is what they experience through the six senses?

trust me, Retro

when rain falls from the clouds, it is "out there" (despite being sensed, "in here")

Paṭisaṅkhā yoniso senāsanaṃ paṭisevāmi,

Considering it thoughtfully, I use the lodging,

Yāvadeva sītassa paṭighātāya,

Simply to counteract the cold,

Uṇhassa paṭighātāya,

To counteract the heat,

Ḍaṃsa-makasa-vātātapa-siriṃsapa-samphassānaṃ paṭighātāya,

To counteract the touch of flies, mosquitoes, wind, sun, & reptiles;

Yāvadeva utuparissaya-vinodanaṃ paṭisallānārām'atthaṃ.

Simply for protection from the inclemencies of weather and for the enjoyment of seclusion.

Pali chanting the Great Brahma said:

'I, monk, am Brahma, the Great Brahma, the Conqueror, the Unconquered, the All-Seeing, All-Powerful, the Sovereign Lord, the Maker, Creator, Chief, Appointer and Ruler, Father of All That Have Been and Shall Be.'
