mn121:5.8 There is only this modicum of stress, namely the oneness dependent on the perception of earth.’
mn121:5.9 They understand: ‘This field of perception is empty of the perception of people. It is empty of the perception of wilderness.
mn121:5.10 There is only this that is not emptiness, namely the oneness dependent on the perception of earth.’
