Thus he regards it as empty of whatever is not there.
Whatever remains, he discerns as present: 'There is this.'
And so this, his entry into emptiness, accords with actuality, is undistorted in meaning, pure — superior & unsurpassed.

"Ananda, whatever contemplatives and priests who in the past...future...present...entered & remained in an emptiness that was pure, superior, & unsurpassed, they all entered & remained in this very same emptiness that is pure, superior, & unsurpassed.

"Therefore, Ananda, you should train yourselves:
'We will enter & remain in the emptiness that is pure, superior, & unsurpassed.'" This must be the summary huh?
