Ok, for completeness, he refers to the Buddhist scripture "The Path of Sudden Attainment" on p.41 of his book Naam -

and he refers to the Shurangama Sutra on p.195 of "The Crown of Life" -

and here is something amazing. Both of the above references are mahayana doctrines. And I thought there would be no aspect of inner light/sound in hinayana buddhism, but in 'Crown of Life' Kirpal Singh says that contemplators in the hinayana school were called "shravaks" or hearers.

and James Bean has already made reference to Ajahna Sumedho and his "Sound of Silence" talks -
