MessageYes, Michael, you are right in what you are saying.
I'm also aware that a lot of practitioners have wet dreams or are addicted to masturbation. Resting their mind on dantian will only aggravate their problems. And so, one should be causious of the effects of this kind of concentration and be aware where the problem may araise from, if it happens at some point.
Some Buddhist schools use the body methods only at the beginner's levels and only under a supervision of an experienced and wise master, and quickly shift to pure mind one-pointed concentration. Without a good teacher observing you all the time I wouldn't recommend focusing anywhere on the body.
If one would like to use Buddhist methods and practice one pointed concentration, I would recommend concentration on the breath. If one wants to do breath, dantian and other things, the essence of what an empty mind meditation is all about is missing.
It's like your question earlier about not being able to do emptiness meditation and Fusion at the same time. You either can do one or the other. Try to do both at the same time and you fail in both.
Metta.
