John Tan Geo,
I think it is not just about putting mind to a rest as certain specific
insights regarding the ultimate nature of mind and phenomena need to
arise. Putting the reasoning mind to a standstill can have several
outcomes:
1. A dull state of non-conceptuality.
2. A taste of Presence but not necessarily free from duality.
3. Perceiver seen as perceived. Subsuming all as Mind.
4. Both perceiver and perceived are liberated by realising they r empty; what appears is free from elaboration. Boundless and spontaneous, naturally perfected.
Seeing the emptiness and dependent arising of “this” and “that” relates to 4 imo.
