mn121:4.1 Consider this stilt longhouse of Migāra’s mother. It’s empty of elephants, cows, horses, and mares; of gold and silver; and of gatherings of men and women.
BAGIAN 4
mn121:4.2 There is only this that is not emptiness, namely, the oneness dependent on the mendicant Saṅgha.
mn121:4.3 In the same way, a mendicant—ignoring the perception of the village and the perception of people—focuses on the oneness dependent on the perception of wilderness.
mn121:4.4 Their mind leaps forth, gains confidence, settles down, and becomes decided in that perception of wilderness.
mn121:4.5 They understand:
mn121:4.6 ‘Here there is no stress due to the perception of village or the perception of people.
mn121:4.7 There is only this modicum of stress, namely the oneness dependent on the perception of wilderness.’
mn121:4.8 They understand: ‘This field of perception is empty of the perception of the village. It is empty of the perception of people.
mn121:4.9 There is only this that is not emptiness, namely the oneness dependent on the perception of wilderness.’
mn121:4.10 And so they regard it as empty of what is not there, but as to what remains they understand that it is present.
mn121:4.11 That’s how emptiness manifests in them—genuine, undistorted, and pure.
