sn36.19:7.1 And what is that pleasure?
sn36.19:7.2 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.
sn36.19:7.3 This is a pleasure that is finer than that.
sn36.19:7.4 There are those who might say
sn36.19:7.5 that this is the highest pleasure and happiness that sentient beings experience.
sn36.19:7.6 But I don’t grant them that.
sn36.19:7.7 Why is that?
sn36.19:7.8 Because there is another pleasure that is finer than that.
