Venerable \u0100nanda saw Venerable S\u0101riputta and said to him: \u201cReverend S\u0101riputta, your faculties are so very clear, and your complexion is pure and bright. What meditation were you practicing today?\u201d \u201cReverend, with the fading away of rapture, I entered and remained in the third absorption, where I meditated with equanimity, mindful and aware, experiencing for themselves the bliss of which the noble ones declare, \u2018Equanimous and mindful, one meditates in bliss.\u2019 But it didn\u2019t occur to me: \u2018I am entering the third absorption\u2019 or \u2018I have entered the third absorption\u2019 or \u2018I am emerging from the third absorption\u2019.\u201d \u201cThat must be because Venerable S\u0101riputta has long ago totally eradicated I-making, mine-making, and the underlying tendency to conceit. That\u2019s why it didn\u2019t occur to you: \u2018I am entering the third absorption\u2019 or \u2018I have entered the third absorption\u2019 or \u2018I am emerging from the third absorption\u2019.\u201d","title":"Rapture","tradition":"Samyutta Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":147}
