Chapter 49
"Imagine a bright sphere, Buddha image; or you can think of something meritorious. Think of anything that makes you feel comfortable. Your mind will gradually be still, able to let go. When your mind becomes still, feel emptiness, it will fall within naturally."

Chapter 47
"'Do not try to see anything; just be calm and you will see naturally.' This means: focus on your feelings; if you feel comfortable continuously, soon images appear within: Dhamma spheres, Buddha Images will appear to you. Meditate with comfort and be calm until you reach this point: body disappearing, mind keeps on enlarging, feeling happy."

Chapter 11
"Meditating: when you reach the point that you feel light, comfortable and happy, you will never feel bored but feel delight within. Though you are alone you do not feel lonely. Your mind will focus, only leading within; all other things will become insignificant."
