[285] "Furthermore, Poṭṭhapāda, a bhikkhu, by completely transcending the base of infinite consciousness (viññāṇañcāyatana), [aware that] 'there is nothing,' enters and dwells in the base of nothingness (ākiñcaññāyatana). His former subtle and true perception (saññā) connected with the base of infinite consciousness ceases; at that time there is a subtle and true perception connected with the base of nothingness; at that time he is one percipient only of the subtle and true perception connected with the base of nothingness. Thus through training one perception arises; through training one perception ceases. This too is the training," said the Blessed One.
