3.30

Second, explaining the cultivation of 'stopping by restraining the mind': The mind is not physical form, nor does it have a location; how could it be tied to an object? It is merely false thinking and conditioned deliberation, and therefore must be restrained. If the mind abides in tranquility, then it does not need to be restrained; simply concentrating its mind and putting an end to all turbulent thoughts is itself the cultivation of stopping.
