Buddha
Guru yang menceritakan pencarian sebelum pencerahan dan jalan yang ditemukannya.
BAGIAN 34-37
mn85:34-37.1 After eating solid food and gathering my strength, quite secluded from sensual pleasures, secluded from unskillful qualities, I entered and remained in the first absorption …
mn85:34-37.2 second absorption …
mn85:34-37.3 third absorption …
mn85:34-37.4 fourth absorption.
mn85:34-37.5 When my mind had immersed in samādhi like this—purified, bright, flawless, rid of corruptions, pliable, workable, steady, and imperturbable—I extended it toward recollection of past lives.
mn85:34-37.6 I recollected many past lives. That is: one, two, three, four, five, ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, a hundred, a thousand, a hundred thousand rebirths; many eons of the world contracting, many eons of the world expanding, many eons of the world contracting and expanding. And so I recollected my many kinds of past lives, with features and details.
mn85:34-37.7 This was the first knowledge, which I achieved in the first watch of the night.
mn85:34-37.8 Ignorance was banished and knowledge arose; darkness was banished and light arose, as happens for a meditator who is diligent, keen, and resolute.
