sn40.3:1.1 “They speak of this thing called the ‘third absorption’.
BAGIAN 1
sn40.3:1.2 What is the third absorption?
sn40.3:1.3 It occurred to me:
sn40.3:1.4 ‘With the fading away of rapture, a mendicant enters and remains in the third absorption, where they meditate with equanimity, mindful and aware, experiencing for themselves the bliss of which the noble ones declare, “Equanimous and mindful, one meditates in bliss.”
sn40.3:1.5 This is called the third absorption.’
sn40.3:1.6 And so … I was entering and remaining in the third absorption.
sn40.3:1.7 While I was in that meditation, perception and focus accompanied by rapture beset me.
