6. Cessation
of Thought
It is written that one day Notire Busara came upon a group of monks
praying
in a meadow. Observing that one of the monks was standing expressionless
to one side, Notire inquired, " And why are you not praying with the
others?
" I have meditated more and more about less and less until I completely
mastered the formlessness of nothing," the monk replied. "My
mind is
completely shut down and devoid."
" And how is it that with the attainment of this 'nroda-sampatti'
you are
able to converse with me?" Notire asked.
"What was the Question?" the monk asked.
Notire passed on, enlightened.
