mn121:9.1 Furthermore, a mendicant—ignoring the perception of the dimension of infinite consciousness and the perception of the dimension of nothingness—focuses on the oneness dependent on the perception of the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception.
BAGIAN 9
mn121:9.2 Their mind leaps forth, gains confidence, settles down, and becomes decided in that perception of the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception.
mn121:9.3 They understand:
mn121:9.4 ‘Here there is no stress due to the perception of the dimension of infinite consciousness or the perception of the dimension of nothingness.
mn121:9.5 There is only this modicum of stress, namely the oneness dependent on the perception of the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception.’
mn121:9.6 They understand: ‘This field of perception is empty of the perception of the dimension of infinite consciousness. It is empty of the perception of the dimension of nothingness.
mn121:9.7 There is only this that is not emptiness, namely the oneness dependent on the perception of the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception.’
mn121:9.8 And so they regard it as empty of what is not there, but as to what remains they understand that it is present.
mn121:9.9 That’s how emptiness manifests in them—genuine, undistorted, and pure.
