The method of abandoning the body consists first in meditating on Emptiness….Let the mind together with its world be quietened down to a perfect state of tranquility; let thought be cast in the mystery of quietude, so that the mind is kept from wandering from one thing to another. When the mind is tranquilized in its deepest abode, its entanglements are cut asunder…the mind in its absolute purity is the void itself. How almost unconcerned it appears….Emptiness, non-striving, desirelessness, formlessness-this is true emancipation.
~ Tao-shin (4th patriarch)
