[87] Furthermore, bhikkhus, a noble disciple reflects thus: 'I am not anything belonging to anyone anywhere, nor is there anywhere anything in anything that belongs to me.' When he is practicing in this way and dwelling frequently thus, his mind (citta) becomes confident in that base (āyatana). When there is confidence, he either attains the base of nothingness (ākiñcaññāyatana) here and now, or he is resolved upon it through wisdom. With the breaking up of the body, after death, this is possible: that the consciousness (viññāṇa) which leads onward would pass on to the base of nothingness. This, bhikkhus, is declared to be the third way of practice suitable for the base of nothingness.
