mn121:6.1 Furthermore, a mendicant—ignoring the perception of wilderness and the perception of earth—focuses on the oneness dependent on the perception of the dimension of infinite space.
mn121:6.2 Their mind leaps forth, gains confidence, settles down, and becomes decided in that perception of the dimension of infinite space.
mn121:6.3 They understand:
mn121:6.4 ‘Here there is no stress due to the perception of wilderness or the perception of earth.
mn121:6.5 There is only this modicum of stress, namely the oneness dependent on the perception of the dimension of infinite space.’
mn121:6.6 They understand: ‘This field of perception is empty of the perception of wilderness. It is empty of the perception of earth.
mn121:6.7 There is only this that is not emptiness, namely the oneness dependent on the perception of the dimension of infinite space.’
mn121:6.8 And so they regard it as empty of what is not there, but as to what remains they understand that it is present.
mn121:6.9 That’s how emptiness manifests in them—genuine, undistorted, and pure.
