Any monk, nun or tradition that teachs something similar to this meditation?

I wrote a meditation and I am curious to know if somebody knows a tradition, monk or nun that teaches something similar. I am looking for something in lineages, books etc to reinforce or explain this method.


Now expand this perception to the senses.
Start with taste… What are you tasting?
In your nose… What are you smelling?
On your skin… What are the textures you are touching?
In your ears… What sounds are you hearing?
In your eyes… What shapes and colors are you seeing?

You will now work with one of these senses or with all or some of them. In your own time, shift your focus away from a sensation and then return. When you start to notice it again, notice how your mind associates the sensation with something and fills it with meaning. If you notice this, take a step back and try to just feel it, without identifying what you are feeling.
Pay attention to this emptiness that occurs as a background to sensations, when there is no discernment. Emptiness fills all spaces because it is empiti of anything. Notice that when the perception of the difference of another or of something arises, you determine yourself.
But when you do not pay attention to this difference, there is no separate self.
There are only things happening. Phenomena that arise and disappear under certain conditions.

In gradual training, after accomplishment in sila and after guarding sense doors from abhijjhā domanassā and moderation of eating, there is the practice of satisampajaññena (mindfulness and awareness)

What is this awareness (sampajāno)?

And how is a mendicant aware(sampajāno)? It’s when a mendicant knows feelings as they arise, as they remain, and as they go away. They know thoughts as they arise, as they remain, and as they go away. They know perceptions as they arise, as they remain, and as they go away. That’s how a mendicant is aware. A mendicant should live mindful and aware. This is my instruction to you.”

This word “satisampajaññema” is in the texts of Ajahn Sumedho (I am reading in the momment). Thank you for remind me it
