mn121:8.2 Their mind leaps forth, gains confidence, settles down, and becomes decided in that perception of the dimension of nothingness.
mn121:8.3 They understand:
mn121:8.4 ‘Here there is no stress due to the perception of the dimension of infinite space or the perception of the dimension of infinite consciousness.
mn121:8.5 There is only this modicum of stress, namely the oneness dependent on the perception of the dimension of nothingness.’
mn121:8.6 They understand: ‘This field of perception is empty of the perception of the dimension of infinite space. It is empty of the perception of the dimension of infinite consciousness.
mn121:8.7 There is only this that is not emptiness, namely the oneness dependent on the perception of the dimension of nothingness.’
mn121:8.8 And so they regard it as empty of what is not there, but as to what remains they understand that it is present.
mn121:8.9 That’s how emptiness manifests in them—genuine, undistorted, and pure.
