dn2:90.1 Suppose there was a person traveling along the road. They’d hear the sound of drums, clay drums, horns, kettledrums, and tom-toms. They’d think: ‘That’s the sound of drums,’ and ‘that’s the sound of clay drums,’ and ‘that’s the sound of horns, kettledrums, and tom-toms.’
dn2:90.2 In the same way, when their mind has become immersed in samādhi like this—purified, bright, flawless, rid of corruptions, pliable, workable, steady, and imperturbable—they project it and extend it toward clairaudience.
dn2:90.3 With clairaudience that is purified and superhuman, they hear both kinds of sounds, human and heavenly, whether near or far.
dn2:90.4 This too, Great King, is a fruit of the ascetic life that’s apparent in the present life which is better and finer than the former ones.
