them, this includes all three contemplations.
41. Since empowerment after all means really seeing emptiness, when you
cultivate contemplation of emptiness, emptiness is empty, the conditional is
also empty, and the center is empty too.
42. In practicing contemplation of the conditional, much of the
empowerment is attained in action; so while the conditional is of course
conditional, emptiness is also conditional and the center is conditional too.
43. When on the way of the center, you still meditate on emptiness; but you
don't call it emptiness, you call it the center. You also meditate on the
conditional; but you don't call it the conditional, you call it the center. When
you come to the center, there is no need to say.
44. Although I sometimes speak only of fire, sometimes I also speak of
water Ultimately they have never moved; with one saying I open my
mouth: the essential mechanism is all in the two eyes. The mechanism
means the function; you use this to manage Creation.
45. This does not mean that is all there is to Creation; all the faculties of
sense and mind are mines of light, so how could we presume to take only
the two eyes and not deal with the rest?
46. To use the yang of water, you use the light of fire to illumine and absorb
it. This shows that the "sun and moon“ are originally one thing.
