MN 52

Aṭṭhakanāgarasutta

The Wealthy Citizen

Majjhima Nikāya · Terj. Bhikkhu Sujato

mn52:4.1 “Householder, it’s when a mendicant, quite secluded from sensual pleasures, secluded from unskillful qualities, enters and remains in the first absorption, which has the rapture and bliss born of seclusion, while placing the mind and keeping it connected.

mn52:4.3 ‘Even this first absorption is produced by choices and intentions.’

mn52:4.4 They understand: ‘But whatever is produced by choices and intentions is impermanent and liable to cessation.’

mn52:4.5 Abiding in that they attain the ending of defilements.

mn52:4.6 If they don’t attain the ending of defilements, with the ending of the five lower fetters they’re reborn spontaneously, because of their passion and love for that meditation. They are extinguished there, and are not liable to return from that world.

mn52:4.7 This is one thing that has been rightly explained by the Blessed One—who knows and sees, the perfected one, the fully awakened Buddha—practicing which a diligent, keen, and resolute mendicant’s mind is freed, their defilements are ended, and they arrive at the supreme sanctuary from the yoke.
