If it is the fundamental anāgamya, one simply perceives the physical form disappearing into nothingness like empty space; at that time, physical body and breath genuinely exist, but because the eye is not opened, one does not perceive or see them. Now, in the sublime practices, when anāgamya arises, one likewise enters absorption into nothingness, but then gradually perceives that there is a body like clouds or shadows, and perceives the inhalation and exhalation pervading all the pores of the body; at that time one also knows the length and shortness of the breath to be equal. One sees that the inhalation does not accumulate and the exhalation does not scatter, arising and ceasing impermanently; one perceives that the body is empty, provisional, and unreal, and also knows that arising and ceasing does not abide for an instant. It is because of the harmonization of these three things that absorption arises. Since the three things are empty, the absorption has nothing on which to rely; knowing that emptiness is also empty, one does not attach within absorption, which immediately destroys the fundamental anāgamya, the meanings of 'craving' and 'spurring' already being contained within it. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.58](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.7.58) - [Next: 7.60](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.7.60) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916~en-mt.7.59) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.7.59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.7.59) · Pramāṇa
