Buddhist-Meditation-Systematic-and-Practical

Outside no self; inside no self. The breath itself is
sunyata; it is mind, it is wisdom; at this stage do not
make any distinction; all should be identified. When one
attains to stopping of the inner energy, then one should
no longer think about "in" and "out," just carry on the
sunyata meditation, concentrating undistractedly upon
it.
The ten meditations, on the four classes into which we
have divided the practical method, are now finished.
"And here," said Mr. Chen, consulting his watch
and flicking over the many more pages of his
notebook covered with closely written characters,
"also we shall have to finish. If we try to complete
the chapter tonight, you will still be writing at
twelve o'clock. This chapter should be divided into
two parts, of which this is the first."
We stepped out in to a starlit night. A thousand
diamonds shone down upon us and the Ganges of
the sky wound its luminous way from one horizon to
the other. All was very vast, empty, and silent, a
sight appropriate to our subject—may it long
continue as peaceful.
