"Layman Li Tongxuan developed a unique meditative practice based on the 9th chapter of the Avatamsaka sutra. The practice, named 'the contemplation of Buddhalight' (foguang guan)" Does anybody here know about this?

so it's sort of a two character meditation -- there's me and a Buddha? And as I do it, the Buddha's light suffuses me and I disappear?

Yes, that's it! In actuality, the practice reveals (in my experience, at least) that there is no Buddha (as a concrete entity) nor self (as a concrete entity) — they are like undifferentiated "light" that momentarily coalesces into forms only to dissolve once more.
