~ The Wayfarer Will to Learn Emptiness once wrote in the Eternal Way:

It is something that gives birth to the universe is greater than the universe, and it is something that administrates the emptiness that is more powerful than emptiness.

We have no suitable name to give it, so in a fanciful manner we call it Tao or Infinite Emptiness.

Emptiness owes its birth to Tao, Heaven and Earth to Emptiness, the myriad of things to Heaven and Earth.

So does humankind owe its birth to Heaven and Earth.

Based on the broad expance of Heaven and Earth the myriad of things can be born, and just depending upon the boundless expanse, the emptiness can give birth to Heaven and Earth.

Just because of something which is not empty existing in the emptiness the emptiness can give birth to emptiness.

That to bear Heaven and Earth, as well as the myriad of things is surely the accomplishment achieved by that which is not empty in the emptiness which takes residence in the nature of the myriad of things as their arbiter.

Something which is not empty in the emptiness that takes residence in the nature of the myriad of things as arbiter also takes residence in the nature of Heaven and Earth as their arbiter, because something not empty in the emptiness can give birth to emptiness. And in much the same way within the emptiness something which is not empty takes residence as its arbiter.

So after three years of nursing and training The Infant of the True Self, you should keep the Infant of the True Self silent constantly in your Upper Elixir Field as you again fall into the state that all motion taking place in man's physical form has come to be at a constant standstill, and since then you should never let the Infant go out, and both the Infant and you should always remain motionless like a dead man without any motion, because your physical form, with the Infant of Your True Self in repose in your Upper Elixir Field, should gradually be transformed into something belonging neither to Existence nor to Nonexistence, neither a spirit nor a piece of emptiness, and having neither exterior nor interior, neither birth nor death.

Yes, taking one step your formless form has reached the sun (let along the moon), and though the sun is so hot you can stay in its center for innumerable years because you can lodge your physical form in the Yang Congenital Mind-Will…

You come into nonexistence.

You and the Infant of the True Self should fall always deeper and deeper into the depths of profound stillness till all things in the world seem to have been dead for hundreds of thousands of years and the Mind-Will should always pervade throughout the emptiness.

In this way the Infant of the True Self will become more and more ethereal and almighty, and more and more silent. His golden rays which speed out in all directions from him will become more and more brilliant.

So when you contract all these rays into a photosphere round the infant the photosphere will be brighter than before; when you spread them out the rays can travel farther away than ever before---of course in this course of evolution, you should never attempt to do these things but to always be a dead man still alive without the least intermission.

For so long time have you and the Infant of the True Self been reposing in your Upper Elixir Field, remaining deathly silent in the utter profound stillness without the least bit of motion whatsoever, as if all the universe has been in extinction for millions of years.

The golden light emitting from the Infant has been becoming more and more brilliant and as vigorous and hot as like a rosy sun. Sometime, like fire flaming out suddenly, some cloud-like rays will rush all the way out from the inner orifices to the outer orifices or vice versa.

After you don't know how long a time, you will perceive that from the very top to the very bottom, endless stars are twinkling and all orifices have become crystal-clear and Heaven and Earth and the myriad of things have become distinct with the golden rays shining over them all.

But that is not at all the end!

Still, you fall deeper and deeper in the utter deathly silence as if the ashes, burnt down hundreds of thousands of years ago, have been delivered to a complete destruction.

Then a rosy cloud, vigorously and tempestuously engaged in a rolling motion with tremendous momentum, will rush out of the Mysterious Pass deep in the Infinite Emptiness, and fill up all orifices with ethereal brilliance without exception, and pass through Heaven and Earth and the myriad of things---all becomes crystal clear, as a result.

It is as if there are endless clear mirrors arranged throughout the emptiness, the miraculous brilliance is reflected by them all and thus wonderful visions and sights beyond the common human's perception present themselves and become distinct.

Yet this is not the end at all!

Still, bring all the rays into your Upper Elixir Field and slip deeper and deeper in the profound stillness. Then after a long time the rays will overflow your body. Then the most brilliant glow flourishing vigorously around you when you contract it with the faint exertion of Mind-Will, shall thoroughly enter the interior of the most minute particle existing in the Infinite Emptiness. When you send the blaze out, it can fill up the Infinite Emptiness and reaches the places far away, beyond the limits of the Infinite Emptiness.

Then you shall perceive that the miraculous blaze is turning into a rosy sun, and is rushing out of a certain orifice, then exploding.

The brilliance rushes to spread all over the Infinite Emptiness. Then endless brilliant golden rays, above rushing through the highest layers of Heaven and below shining through the bottom layer of Earth, silently illuminate innumerable worlds and Buddha, Lao Tzu and a good number of saints and immortals present themselves before your eyes; paying their homage and respectfully welcoming you.

Yet this is not yet the end at all!

Still, you should slide deeper and deeper in the profoundest silence as one year elapses, two years elapse, three years elapse, . . . , a hundred years roll away, a thousand years pass away, . . . ,
till your form changes into golden light and spreads all over the infinite emptiness to become One with the Same Body of Tao.

The brilliance which fills up the infinite emptiness is eternally yours and you are the Buddha and the Buddha is you, and Heaven and Earth and endless rivers and all mountain ranges and the universe and endless generations of humankind; all are like lines in the palm of your hand---you have returned to Infinite Nirvana.

You have become one with Tao.

The sun is sure to exhaust all its energy sometime and come to a complete extinction; the broad expanse of the ocean may someday be drained dry of water and the ground may curve in or curve out, even the most magnificent mountain ranges may sometime undergo tremendous transformations and become like an empty and flat valley.

The universe is destined to pass away sometime because existence means both birth and death.

Yet Tao, depending upon nothing for its existence, will engage in its own particular motion incessantly, thus it is eternal………
