sn46.54:12.3 and equanimity, which rely on seclusion, fading away, and cessation, and ripen as letting go.
sn46.54:12.4 If they wish: ‘May I meditate perceiving the repulsive in the unrepulsive,’ that’s what they do.
sn46.54:12.5 If they wish: ‘May I meditate perceiving the unrepulsive in the repulsive,’ that’s what they do.
sn46.54:12.6 If they wish: ‘May I meditate perceiving the repulsive in the unrepulsive and the repulsive,’ that’s what they do.
sn46.54:12.7 If they wish: ‘May I meditate perceiving the unrepulsive in the repulsive and the unrepulsive,’ that’s what they do.
sn46.54:12.8 If they wish: ‘May I meditate staying equanimous, mindful and aware, shunning both the repulsive and the unrepulsive,’ that’s what they do.
sn46.54:12.9 The apex of the heart’s release by love is the beautiful, I say, for a wise mendicant here who has not penetrated to a higher freedom.
