MN 121

Cūḷasuññatasutta

The Shorter Discourse on Emptiness

Majjhima Nikāya · Terj. Bhikkhu Sujato

mn121:10.1 Furthermore, a mendicant—ignoring the perception of the dimension of nothingness and the perception of the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception—focuses on the oneness dependent on the signless immersion of the heart.

mn121:10.2 Their mind leaps forth, gains confidence, settles down, and becomes decided in that signless immersion of the heart.

mn121:10.4 ‘Here there is no stress due to the perception of the dimension of nothingness or the perception of the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception.

mn121:10.5 There is only this modicum of stress, namely that related to the six sense fields dependent on this body and conditioned by life.’

mn121:10.6 They understand: ‘This field of perception is empty of the perception of the dimension of nothingness. It is empty of the perception of the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception.

mn121:10.7 There is only this that is not emptiness, namely that related to the six sense fields dependent on this body and conditioned by life.’

mn121:10.8 And so they regard it as empty of what is not there, but as to what remains they understand that it is present.

mn121:10.9 That’s how emptiness manifests in them—genuine, undistorted, and pure.
