The title "Wise Four Empties Eminence" has a reason for its origin.
"Four Empties" refers to the four stages of Zen meditation in Buddhism: "Abode of Infinite Space, Abode of Infinite Consciousness, Abode of Nothingness, Abode of Neither Perception nor Non-Perception". "Wise" signifies wisdom, meaning that this monk used wisdom to realize the four stages of emptiness, and the title "Eminence" is a respectful address for monks of high virtue and extraordinary wisdom.
These four meditation stages progress one after the other, and they are four cultivation goals to transcend worldly desires and all distractions. It is said that those who successfully cultivate the Four Colorless States will be reborn in the Four Colorless Heavens after death.
Although he took the title of "Wise Four Empties Eminence," his realization level had not reached the pinnacle of these stages.
